Trump says US 'armada' heading toward Iran

President Trump confirms a U.S. naval armada is moving toward Iran to deter the regime's actions, citing the prevention of 837 executions amid rising tensions.

  • On January 22, President Donald Trump said the United States has a naval armada moving toward the Gulf to keep pressure on Iran and preferred not to use force while monitoring closely.
  • Warships started moving last week as tensions with Iran rose after a severe crackdown on protests that began Dec 28, with Iranian authorities reporting 3,117 dead and HRANA verifying 4,519 deaths and 9,049 under review.
  • A U.S. Navy official confirmed the USS Abraham Lincoln and guided‑missile destroyers are expected to arrive in the Middle East, with the Lincoln strike group currently in the Indian Ocean.
  • Trump said, `I said: 'If you hang those people, you're going to be hit harder than you've ever been hit. It'll make what we did to your Iran nuclear look like peanuts,'` and Iran's Guards warned they had their finger on the trigger.
  • Officials warn the deployments expand options to defend United States forces and act if Iran restarts its nuclear program, amid International Atomic Energy Agency concerns over 440.9kg of enriched uranium and verification gaps.
