U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran on Wednesday that an “armada” was heading toward it and that it should “make a deal” with the U.S. on its contested nuclear program or face a large-scale U.S. military attack.
“A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary,” he added.
Trump said he hoped Iran would come to the table to negotiate “a fair and equitable deal” regarding its nuclear weapons program.
“Time is running out, it is truly of the essence,” Trump said.
