Trump Says 'Iran Wants a Deal' as US Aircraft Carrier Arrives in Middle East

Former US President Donald Trump stated that he believes Iran is seeking a diplomatic solution to tensions with the United States, as the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln arrived in the Middle East region. Trump described the situation as 'fluid' and emphasized that the US continues to deploy military resources to the area, including naval personnel. He stressed that diplomacy remains an option and that Iran has expressed interest in talks. Simultaneously, the Pentagon announced the arrival of the aircraft carrier, justifying the deployment as a measure to 'promote regional security and stability.' Trump did not rule out military intervention but stated he expects additional military 'options' from his advisors. The Wall Street Journal reports that the presence of the carrier provides defensive and offensive capabilities in the event of military action.
