US President Donald Trump warned that a massive naval fleet is rapidly heading toward Iran with full force and a clear mission. He said the fleet is led by the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and is larger than the one sent to Venezuela. Trump urged Iran to come to the negotiating table for a fair, nuclear-free deal.
Speaking on social media, Trump emphasized the fleet’s readiness to complete its mission if necessary, including the use of force. He compared the operation to the Venezuela deployment, saying this fleet is capable of swift action. Trump highlighted that time is running out and called the matter “extremely important” for regional stability. He reminded that previous warnings to Iran went unheeded, leading to the “Midnight Hammer” operation, which caused significant damage.
