Trump Warns Time Is Running Out for Iran Deal as US–Iran War Threat Looms
U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated tensions with Iran by warning that “time is running out” for Tehran to agree to a deal to avert military action. Trump announced a “massive armada,” led by the USS Abraham Lincoln, is heading toward Iran and is prepared to act “with speed and violence” if necessary. The move follows concerns over Iran’s nuclear programme and is heightening fears of a possible U.S.–Iran conflict, despite diplomatic overtures.
