Iran held annual military drills with Russia on Thursday as a second American aircraft carrier drew closer to the Middle East, with both the US and Iran signalling they are prepared for war if talks on Tehran’s nuclear programme fizzle out.

US President Donald Trump said he believes 10 to 15 days is “enough time” for Iran to reach a deal.
