US EditionWith US ‘Armada’ in Place, Trump Presses His Demands on Iran
The USS Abraham Lincoln strike group is deployed to pressure Iran into nuclear negotiations, with Trump warning of a larger fleet than previously sent near Venezuela.
- On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump announced a large naval group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group is heading toward Iran to pressure talks.
- After the 2018 U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, US–Iran relations worsened with sanctions and skirmishes, while Trump cited Operation Midnight Hammer and the earlier Venezuela naval deployment.
- The strike group includes the USS Abraham Lincoln and three guided‑missile destroyers, typically accompanied by a nuclear submarine, adding about 5700 service members to about 50,000 already in the region.
- Regional powers and markets reacted with Gulf states and European governments urging restraint, Tehran's foreign ministry rejected talks under military threats, and energy markets saw modest oil price rises.
- Analysts warn the concentrated US naval power and explicit threats could raise miscalculation risks, while whether the strategy compels Tehran to negotiate remains uncertain amid Middle Eastern geopolitics volatility.
