U.S. President Donald Trump said on Jan. 28 that a “massive armada” is heading to Iran and urged Tehran to come to the table to make a deal on nuclear weapons.

A U.S. military fleet headed by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier is moving toward Iran, Trump said in a Truth Social post, adding that “it is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose.”
