Trump threatens attack on Iran worse than ‘Midnight Hammer’ with military buildup in the region
This feels like a quiet policy shift.
President Donald Trump warned Iran on Wednesday that the United States will launch a huge attack against the country if it does not negotiate a nuclear weapons deal swiftly.
The president said the Pentagon is preparing to launch a “massive” military operation against Iran with a naval fleet comparable to the one used earlier this month in Venezuela, when special forces toppled former dictator Nicolas Maduro. Trump said that such an attack would be “far worse” than the strikes the U.S. carried out against Iran last summer, when “Operation Midnight Hammer” sought to eradicate the country’s nuclear facilities.
“A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela. Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary,” Trump wrote in a message to Truth Social.
Ahead of the Venezuela operation that led to Maduro’s arrest, the U.S. sent a fleet of warships to the region, including the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier.
“Hopefully Iran will quickly ‘Come to the Table’ and negotiate a fair and equitable deal – NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS – one that is good for all parties. Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was Operation Midnight Hammer,’ a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse! Don’t make that happen again,” he continued.
Trump’s statement comes after he had suggested in recent weeks that the U.S. could come to the aid of protesters seeking to topple the Iranian regime, an Islamic theocracy led by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Since the most recent uprising began, thousands have been killed by the ayatollah’s forces, and Iran has instituted an internet blackout to quell demonstrations. On Sunday, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said it is probing nearly 23,000 suspected deaths. Iranian officials have confirmed that at least 5,000 have died.
The president’s threat to attack Iran comes just days after the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, or the U.S. “armada,” arrived in the Middle East after being redirected from its Indo-Pacific deployment. The $6.8 billion fleet contains some of the U.S. Navy’s most powerful warships, described as the largest in the world, and includes the USS Abraham Lincoln, the Carrier Air …
