In a significant escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran, President Donald Trump has announced the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, to the Middle East. This move, reported by multiple sources including Hum News and Express News, is part of a broader military buildup in the region, which includes additional warships and thousands of troops. Trump has stated that if negotiations with Iran fail, the U.S. is prepared for 'serious consequences' and a potential military operation that could last several weeks, as noted by Aaj TV Latest. The President emphasized, 'If we don't make a deal, Iran will face very difficult times.' This development comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to revive nuclear talks, with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner scheduled to meet Iranian officials in Geneva, as reported by Independent Urdu.
