A new warning to Iran was issued by Donald Trump through his post, as American naval forces move toward the region. The US President reiterated that a powerful American fleet is heading toward Iran, spearheaded by the giant aircraft carrier “Abraham Lincoln”.
Indeed, demanding that Tehran sit at the negotiating table for its nuclear program, Trump makes clear that time is running out.
Donald Trump’s post in detail
“A massive fleet is heading toward Iran. It’s moving fast, with great power, enthusiasm and determination. This is a larger fleet than the one sent to Venezuela, led by the great aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln. Just like with Venezuela, it’s ready, willing and able to complete its mission quickly, with speed and force, if necessary. Let’s hope Iran will “sit at the table” quickly and negotiate a fair and equitable deal – WITHOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS – that will be good for all parties. Time is running out, it’s really urgent! As I told Iran before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was ‘Operation Midnight Hammer,’ a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be much worse! Don’t let this happen again. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J Trump”, Trump noted.
Iran: Ready for dialogue, but “will respond if provoked,” Tehran declares
Meanwhile, Tehran’s diplomatic mission to the United Nations today, Wednesday (28/1) conveyed that Iran is prepared for talks with the United States, but will defend itself if provoked.
“Iran stands ready for dialogue based on mutual respect and interests. But if pushed, it will defend itself and respond like never before in the past,” Iran’s mission stated in a post on platform X.
Last time the U.S. blundered into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, it squandered over $7 trillion and lost more than 7,000 American lives.
