YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump has issued a nuclear ultimatum to the Iranian regime as the President warned that the nation must halt its weapons programme or face "major destruction" from a US armada.
James O'Brien reflects on the latest developments in the Middle East and asks: If Alex Pretti hadn't been killed, would Trump really have sent an 'armada' to Iran?
Mr Trump made the claims in his latest Truth Social post, where he also warned that "time is running out" for the Tehran dictatorship to stop pursuing nuclear weaponry.
Describing the US fleet in the Gulf, Trump said: "Like with Venezuela, it is ready, willing and able to rapidly fulfil its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary."
The President called on Iran's ruling Mullahs to come to the table and negotiate a "fair and equitable deal" that would stop it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
He added that the next attack on Iran will be "far worse" than June strikes, which targeted three of the country's uranium enrichment facilities.
In response, the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, issued a warning to the US by saying it has its "finger on the trigger" should the USS Abraham Lincoln strike group attack the Middle Eastern nation.
