President Trump endorses regime change in Iran amid rising tensions as the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier joins U.S. forces in the Middle East to pressure Tehran.

- The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, can carry more than 75 aircraft, and the Ford strike group will add over 5,000 troops, doubling available aircraft and munitions with two carriers.

- U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet in Geneva on Tuesday, as Trump said the extra carrier would withdraw if diplomacy succeeds.
