Trump Says U.S. Naval Armada Is Headed Toward Iran as He Pushes for a Deal

President Donald Trump said the United States has deployed a large naval armada toward Iran, describing it as larger than previous deployments near Venezuela. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the move is aimed at pressuring Iran to reach an agreement, while stopping short of publicly setting a deadline. Trump underscored U.S. military strength and framed the deployment as part of a “peace through strength” strategy, saying he hopes a deal can be reached but warning that consequences could follow if talks fail. He also addressed other global conflicts, including Venezuela and the war in Ukraine, expressing confidence that a potential settlement between Russia and Ukraine remains possible despite heavy losses.
