US President Donald Trump said a “massive armada” of American naval forces was heading toward Iran, warning that a future attack would be “far worse” than past strikes if Tehran does not agree to a deal.
“A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial on Wednesday, saying the fleet, led by the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, was “ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary.”
He added that the force was larger than one previously sent to Venezuela and said he hoped Iran would “quickly ‘Come to the Table’ and negotiate a fair and equitable deal — NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS — one that is good for all parties.”
Trump referenced the June military action “Operation Midnight Hammer,” saying it had inflicted “major destruction of Iran” and warning that “the next attack will be far worse” if Tehran did not reach an agreement.
