As American Warships and Planes Near Iran, Trump Warns ‘Bad Things’ if Deal Isn’t Made
Iran and Russia conducted joint naval drills involving live-fire and boarding exercises while the U.S. deployed a second aircraft carrier and 50 combat aircraft to the region, signaling readiness for conflict.
- On Thursday, Iran and Russia held annual naval drills in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean as the USS Gerald R. Ford was tracked off Morocco approaching the region.
- Deadlocked nuclear talks and U.S. concern over Iran's program have heightened tensions, with indirect talks in recent weeks showing little progress and U.S. officials briefing that full forces are expected by mid-March.
- Footage released by Iran showed Revolutionary Guard naval special forces boarding a vessel during the exercise, and Iran issued rocket-fire warnings to pilots while earlier this week conducting live-fire drills in the Strait of Hormuz with 50 U.S. combat aircraft as reinforcements.
- U.S. deployments bolster strike options and, once the USS Gerald R. Ford arrives, could help protect Israel and Jordan, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning of potential Iranian missile responses.
- Indirect talks in recent weeks made little progress and the Iranian delegation will present proposals in the next two weeks, while observers say deployments increase the risk of regional escalation.
