TEHRAN, May 06 - Two of US warships sailed near islands in the South China Sea on Monday, a move that angered Beijing at a time of tense ties between the world’s two biggest economies, Reuters reported.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The United States also is sending an aircraft carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East in a "clear and unmistakable" message to Iran.
Bolton said in a Sunday statement “The United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region” .
The move by the US comes as it had earlier vowed to cut Iran’s oil exports down to zero.
The US administration said in a statement on April 22 that buyers of Iranian oil must stop their purchases by May 1 or face sanctions. The move ended six months of waivers, which allowed Iran’s eight biggest buyers -- Turkey, China, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan -- to continue importing limited volumes.
