US President Donald Trump is considering sending a second aircraft carrier to the region if ongoing negotiations with Iran fail.
Elchi.az reports that Trump assessed the agenda regarding Iran in an interview with the US-based Axios news platform.
Trump said he is considering sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East in preparation for a possible military operation if negotiations with Iran fail.
US President: “(With Iran) We will either reach an agreement, or we will have to take very harsh measures as last time,” he said, adding that he hopes the second phase of negotiations will be held next week.
Emphasizing that he is considering sending another aircraft carrier strike group, Trump said, “We have a navy going there, and another one may go.”
Trump explained that Iran did not believe the US would attack last time, but that Iran was targeting nuclear facilities, adding, “These talks are different.”
Trump said that any agreement with Iran would cover its entire nuclear program and that the agreement should also target Iran’s ballistic missile program.
