Washington. On Thursday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that his nation has a fleet en route to the waters near Iran and warned Tehran about the need to stop the repression against the protests in the Persian country. «We have ships heading in that direction. We have a fleet heading there, and we will observe what happens,» the president commented to reporters aboard Air Force One when questioned about the current situation between the US. Trump’s statements seem to allude to movements in the US Navy. These have indicated that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group have left the South China Sea and appear to be heading towards the Indian Ocean. «I would prefer that nothing happen, but we are watching them.» Trump reiterated his statement that, thanks to his intervention, Tehran did not carry out the execution of individuals involved in the protests against the government that have been occurring in Iran due to the economic crisis. Trump reiterated the message that «we have a fleet on the way there, and perhaps it will not be necessary to use it.» However, when questioned about whether Washington wants the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, to resign or go into exile, the Republican replied: «I don’t want to go into details.» «The truth is that they are aware of what we are looking for.»
Trump claims that the US has a «huge fleet» heading to waters near Iran.
