US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
has accused Iran of alarming ongoing provocations aimed at destabilizing the
Middle East and undermining America's interests in the region.
Tillerson told newsmen that an
unchecked Iran has the potential to travel the same path as North Korea and to
take the world along with it.
President Donald Trump had ordered a
review of the Iran nuclear deal. However, the US admits that Tehran
is complying with the 2015 agreement.
Iran has so far made no public comments
on the latest developments and has repeatedly denied accusations by the West
that it was ever trying to develop nuclear weapons.
On Tuesday, Washington
accused North Korea of trying to "provoke something", after Pyongyang conducted a failed
missile test over the weekend.
Responding, North Korea said it may
test missiles on a weekly basis, and warned of "all-out war" if the
US takes military action.
