The US president has promised “something very tough” unless Tehran accepts his deal
US President Donald Trump has said he is weighing the deployment of a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, escalating military pressure on Iran and warning that diplomacy has a narrow window.
The remarks come ahead of a likely second round of indirect US-Iran talks next week, following initial negotiations held in Oman on Friday – the first since last year’s Israeli-US strikes.
“We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going,” Trump told Axios on Tuesday.
“Either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time,” he said, referring to US airstrikes in June on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
