President Donald Trump has posted on his Truth Social that “a massive Armada is heading to Iran” as fears rise over US strikes on the country.
“Hopefully Iran will quickly “Come to the Table” and negotiate a fair and equitable deal – NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS – one that is good for all parties.
“Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was ‘Operation Midnight Hammer,’ a major destruction of Iran.”
Iran’s bloody crackdown on nationwide protests has killed at least 6,159 people while many others still are feared dead, activists said yesterday, as a US aircraft carrier group arrived in the Middle East to lead an American military response to the crisis.

TEHRAN – Iranians are preparing for what they believe is an imminent attack by US forces, with many fleeing the capital city of Tehran as Donald Trump warned his “massive armada” was approaching the country.
The US President on Wednesday wrote on his Truth Social platform that the fleet, which he said was bigger than the one sent to Venezuela before the capture of president Nicolás Maduro, was “ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary”.
“Hopefully Iran will quickly ‘come to the Table’ and negotiate a fair and equitable deal – NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS,” Trump added.

Dozens of Iranians who spoke to The i Paper said they were leaving the capital to go to stay with relatives in suburban areas on the outskirts of the city, in anticipation of a US strike.
Diplomatic movements are rapidly underway. In recent hours, Iran’s foreign minister has spoken to Saudi and Turkish counterparts, while Iran’s president spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday night.
A senior political source in Iran told The i Paper that Washington has relayed a message to Tehran proposing several preconditions to halt hostilities.
