This warning came against the backdrop of Trump's decision to send a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group to the region.
“We will consider any attack on our country an act of full-scale war in the context of the arrival of the aircraft carrier and other American forces in the region,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon is increasing its military presence in the Middle East: the USS Georgia nuclear submarine, capable of carrying 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of 1,600 kilometers, has been deployed to the region.
In addition to the USS Georgia, another nuclear submarine, the USS South Dakota, armed with 12 Tomahawk missiles, is also in the area, along with three American destroyers that are similarly equipped with such missiles.
