Trump cited Iran\u2019s ballistic missile program among other issues in withdrawing from the accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the U.S. then ramped up sanctions, Iran gradually and publicly abandoned the deal\u2019s limits on its nuclear development as a series of escalating incidents pushed the two countries to the brink of war at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent weeks, Iran has increased its military drills. On Saturday, the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard held a naval parade in the Arabian Gulf, and a week earlier Iran held a massive drone maneuver across half the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran on occasion announces <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/training-sim\/2020\/06\/18\/iran-test-fires-cruise-missiles-resistant-to-electronic-war-says-naval-chief\/\" target=_blank>military achievements<\/a> that cannot be independently verified. State TV said the 121,000-metric ton Makran is Iran\u2019s largest military ship at 228 meters (748 feet) long, 42 meters (138 feet) wide and 21.5 meters (70 feet) tall. The Makran, a logistics ship that supports combat ships in the fleet, can travel for nearly three years without docking and carries information collection and processing gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video footage released by the military showed helicopters carrying commandos to the Makran as part of the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, Iran seized a South Korean oil tanker and its crew members in the Gulf, and continues to hold the vessel at an Iranian port. The Islamic Republic has apparently sought to increase its leverage over Seoul ahead of negotiations over billions of dollars in Iranian assets frozen in South Korean banks tied to U.S. sanctions on Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iran of having secret ties with the militant al-Qaida network and imposed new sanctions on several senior Iranian officials. Iran has denied the accusation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday said in a televised speech during a Cabinet meeting that U.S. sanctions will fail. \u201cWe are witnessing the failure of a policy, the maximum pressure campaign, economic terrorism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Makran, a logistics
