as posted by the channel

Iranian activists are reporting a rapidly rising death toll from the regime's crackdown on nationwide demonstrations. Human rights groups say more than 5,000 people have been killed - most of them protesters. Reports say tens of thousands have been detained.

Against that backdrop, the US military has moved a major aircraft carrier strike group closer to the Middle East. The Pentagon says it's a precautionary move, but Donald Trump has threatened the use of force against the Iranian regime if the killing of protesters in Iran continues.

Speaking aboard Air Force One, he described the naval build-up as an 'armada' - and outlined the threats he'd made to Tehran.
