US President Donald Trump warned Iran that time was running out to reach a nuclear deal as US military forces increased in the Gulf. He said a large naval force, led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, was moving toward the region. Iran responded by saying its armed forces were ready to react to any attack. Tehran repeated that its nuclear programme was peaceful and denied seeking nuclear weapons. US officials said the military build-up was meant to deter threats and protect personnel. The warning comes as Washington presses Iran to curb uranium enrichment and missile activity. No formal talks are under way. (PC: BBC)
