(Daily Star) – Iran has warned the US it will turn the Gulf into a “sea of blood” if war comes as the row over oil tankers and the nuclear deal deepens. Iranian cleric Mohammad Ali Movahedi-Kermani told a sermon in Tehran that the Islamic republic is ready for war with the US. He said: “Think of an attack only if you want to change the color of the Persian Gulf waters from azure to red.” And he repeated warnings that Iran is
