Trump says US warships rearmed for Iran strikes if talks fail - NY Post

President Donald Trump said on Friday that US warships are being reloaded with “the best ammunition” to continue airstrikes on Iran in case peace talks in Islamabad fail.

“We’re going to find out in about 24 hours. We’re going to know soon,” he told The New York Post in a phone interview when asked if he thought the talks would be successful.

“We have a reset going. We’re loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made — even better than what we did previously and we blew them apart,” he added.

“But we’re loading up the ships. We’re loading up the ships with the best weapons ever made, even at a higher level than we use to do a complete decimation. And if we don’t have a deal, we will be using them, and we will be using them very effectively.”

“You’re dealing against people that we don’t know whether or not they tell the truth,” Trump added. “To our face, they’re getting rid of all nuclear weapons, everything’s gone. And then they go out to the press and say, ‘No, we’d like to enrich.’ So we’ll find out.”
