US warships move within striking distance of Iran

The European Union has formally blacklisted Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terror group as tensions escalate between Iran and the United States. American warships, including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and several destroyers, are now within striking distance of Tehran. Iran's foreign minister has warned that the nation's armed forces are prepared to respond immediately to any US aggression, while Washington seeks to pressure Iran into negotiating an end to its nuclear enrichment programme.
