The tension increases between the US and Iran but at least one Iranian leader says the US move is only 'psychological warfare'.
Spokesman for Iran's parliamentary leadership, Behrouz Nemati quoted Hossein Salami, commander-in-chief of the Guards, as saying the Americans had"started a psychological war because the comings and goings of their military is a normal matter".Iran's president Hassan Rouhani warned his citizens that the conditions they face could be worse than those seen during Iran's war with neighbouring Iraq in the 1980s.
"The pressures by enemies is a war unprecedented in the history of our Islamic revolution... but I do not despair and have great hope for the future and believe that we can move past these difficult conditions provided that we are united."But Mr Rouhani also faces his own pressures - the country's hardliners criticised his support of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, criticism that strengthened after the US left the deal and imposed sanctions on Iran.
Reuters reported last week that sanctions had resulted in the halving of oil exports to one million barrels per day or less.
