In a significant military escalation, the United States has ordered the deployment of a second aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, to the Middle East amid rising tensions with Iran. This move follows President Donald Trump's warnings of 'very traumatic' consequences if Iran fails to reach a nuclear deal with the U.S. 'We have to make a deal, otherwise it’s going to be very traumatic, very traumatic,' Trump stated, as reported by The Frontier Post. The USS Abraham Lincoln, already stationed in the region, will be joined by the USS Ford, enhancing the U.S. naval presence significantly. The decision comes after indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran in Oman, which have yet to yield a breakthrough, as noted by Business Recorder.
