Trump to Iran: Massive U.S. Armada Nears, ‘Time Is Running Out’
WANA (Jan 28) – The U.S. president, Donald Trump, has once again threatened Iran and has called on Iran to come back to the negotiation table.
In a post on his Social media platform, Truth Social, he wrote: “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. Like with Venezuela, it is ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary.”
He added, “Hopefully Iran will quickly ‘Come to the Table’ and negotiate a fair and equitable deal – NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS – one that is good for all parties. Time is running out; it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was “Operation Midnight Hammer”, a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse! Don’t make that happen again. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Meanwhile, Today, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, told foreign media that no negotiations are presently underway with the United States, adding that messages are nevertheless being exchanged.
He said that even if Tehran and Washington were to sit at the negotiating table, it would not mean that Iran would reduce its readiness for any potential war.
Gharibabadi stressed that any limited attack by the United States would be met with an appropriate response.
He further emphasised that Tehran’s current priority is not negotiations with Washington, but maintaining what he described as “200 percent readiness” to defend the country.
