Iran’s supreme leader threatened to send US aircraft carriers to the “bottom of the sea” while talks to avert a war began in Geneva.
Ali Khamenei dismissed the American military build-up in the Persian Gulf after Donald Trump ordered a second carrier to the region last week.
“They constantly say we have sent an aircraft carrier towards Iran,” the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader said. “Very well, an aircraft carrier is certainly a dangerous machine, but more dangerous than the carrier is the weapon that can send it to the bottom of the sea.”
