Last night, Iranian officials rushed to postpone the negotiations, fearing that Trump was about to launch an attack on the rogue country’s military – or even on Khamenei himself.
The military buildup falls far short of last year’s Pentagon deployment that undermined Iran’s nuclear program, current and former U.S. officials told the Washington Post.
It does, however, lend credibility to Trump’s continued warnings as he continues to push for a deal to be signed with the Islamic regime.
Dana Stroul, former assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East, told WP: “What they’re doing is laying the groundwork to provide an expanded set of offensive options should the president direct military strikes.”
The mullahs’ regime killed thousands of protesters in a bloody crackdown – which nearly forced the US president to intervene at the time.
In January, Trump ordered a massive military armada toward Iran and warned the ayatollah that Washington was “watching.”
Trump said: “We have an armada…heading in that direction, and maybe we won’t need to use it.” »
The US president added: “We have a big flotilla going in this direction, and we will see what happens.
“We have a large force heading towards Iran. I would prefer that nothing happened – but we are watching them very closely.”
The colossal aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has been sent to Iran alongside several guided-missile destroyers, Washington officials have revealed.
Trump wants broader discussions to include Iran’s huge ballistic missile threathis terrorist sidekick in the region and the repression against demonstrators which is estimated to have cost the lives of 36,500 people.
And his patience seemed to wear thin last night as Iran’s notoriously elusive negotiators quibbled over the format and location of the talks.
Trump told NBC News last night that he still supports the brave protesters and described their defenses as being “in disarray” after US stealth bomber strikes that destroyed their nuclear sites in June.
He said: “I want peace in the Middle East. If we don’t get out of nuclear power, we won’t have peace in the Middle East.”
His recorded interview was broadcast as US officials reportedly said nuclear negotiations with Iran in Oman on February 6 had been called off.
US negotiators reportedly ended negotiations in the face of Iranian demands to limit the negotiation format.
An Iranian official reportedly said that negotiations would be limited to nuclear issues and that “non-nuclear issues” were compromising the negotiations.
Tensions rose again a day after a U.S. warplane shot down an Iranian drone flying toward the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier 500 miles off the Iranian coast.
Donald Trump’s military leaders confirmed that an F35c jet fighter blew up the Shahed drone. sky as he focuses on the giant warship.
The Shahed-139 unmanned craft was shot down by a fighter launched from the deck of the massive aircraft carrier as it “aggressively approached” the carrier with “unclear intent.”
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday he had asked the country’s foreign minister to “pursue fair and equitable negotiations.”
But Trump has vowed to hammer Iran’s military — and eventually leaders, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — unless all of his demands are met.
An Iranian official reportedly accused the United States last night of changing its position at every turn.
Amid increased confusion last night, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later said he insisted the talks were still underway, scheduled for 10 a.m. local time in the Omani capital Muscat.
The Iranian regime was also exposed last night after a news outlet linked to the hard-line Revolutionary Guard revealed its chilling plan for war with America – and boasted of its ability to “win”.
A five-step plan released by Tasnim, mouthpiece of the feared IRGC, explains how Tehran believes it could bleed the United States, terrorize its allies and choke the global economy into submission.
The fantasy war plan begins with US strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military sites – then explodes into a regional firestorm.
Iran says it would launch waves of missiles and drones in American bases in the Middle East, drag its terrorist proxies into combat and flood American defenses on a large scale, The telegraph reported.
