US-Iran relations have been increasingly strained since Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and imposed a "maximum pressure" policy on Tehran.

In late September, the United States continued to impose another round of sanctions on Iran, including its central bank after the attack on two refineries in Saudi Arabia.

Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for carrying out the attack, but the US says Iran is the mastermind. The Islamic Republic has repeatedly denied involvement, calling the US allegations "nonsense", to create an excuse to legitimize future actions against Tehran.
