An Iranian protester pretends to punch a mask mocking President Donald Trump during a rally after Friday prayer in Tehran, Iran on Friday, May 10, 2019. The Iranian commander also claimed the US would not dare take military action against Iran but did not elaborate. The Trump administration sent the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and a bomber squadron to the region in response to unspecified threats by Iran against American interests. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday gave European leaders a 60-day deadline to find a way to shield Iran from US sanctions targeting its economy and oil industry. The Air Force identified the aircraft as coming from the 20th Bomb Squadron of Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.
