Iran threatens wider war as US-Iran standoff continues
Iran said it would expand the war with 'asymmetric operations' after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump chose to 'strangle' Iran. Security chief Mohsen Rezaei warned US bases, including in Europe, would be targets if used for attacks. Iran said it will not hand over enriched uranium. Trump said he wants 'total victory'. Israel's security cabinet ordered the army to prepare for a possible attack on Iran.
Why it matters
The standoff threatens oil shipping and raises the risk of attacks on US forces and allies.
Background
The US and Iran have been at war for months. Talks have stalled over Iran's enriched uranium and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
