President Trump is strategizing his next steps as he seeks to pressure Iran regarding nuclear negotiations between the United States & Tehran. He has decided to take decisive action against Iran's swiftly progressing nuclear program.
After initially rejecting discussions with the U.S., Iran begrudgingly consented, saying that it maintains the right to dismiss the final proposal.
Before the upcoming session of U.S.-Iran talks, which commenced 3 days ago, Washington has deployed a second aircraft carrier to that region. The USS Carl Vinson & its strike group have navigated into the Arabian Sea, moving toward the Persian Gulf. Reports have indicated that operations began late on Monday night as suspected U.S. airstrikes targeted areas in Yemen controlled by Iran-aligned Houthi militants.
While same missions have been undertaken by another U.S. aircraft carrier - the USS Harry S. Truman, the addition of a second strike group is seen as an effort by Trump to escalate military actions _ clarify his intentions to Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader.
Donald Trump has threatened to carry out precession airstrikes on all of the Iran's nuclear facilities if the deal acceptable to Washington is not achieved. Furthermore, Iran has warned that it could readily pursue a nuclear weapon with their current stockpile of uranium, which has been enriched to near weapons-grade levels.
