US President Donald Trump on Friday said a sizable US naval force is heading toward Iran, signaling hope for a deal with Tehran but also leaving options open.
“We have a large Armada, flotilla … heading toward Iran right now, even larger than what we had in Venezuela,” Trump said at the White House.
He reiterated that the US is now sending “actually, a larger number of ships” to Iran.
“Hopefully, we’ll make a deal. If we do make a deal, that’s good. If we don’t make a deal. We’ll see what happens,” he added.
