News Topical, Digital Desk : The US has increased its deployment of warships in the Middle East, which is likely to escalate tensions. Furthermore, President Donald Trump has openly threatened Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stating that regime change is the only solution in Iran. Trump has also stated that sometimes fear is necessary. In this way, Donald Trump has clearly indicated his intentions.
Speaking to reporters after meeting with troops at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Trump said regime change in Tehran would be "the best thing that could happen," as his administration considers military action. When asked about removing Iran's Islamic religious leadership from power, Trump said, "It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen."
Fears of escalating tensions in the Middle East
Earlier, Trump announced that the US was deploying a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East. The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, will depart from the Caribbean and join US warships and military assets already deployed there. Trump then added, "If we can't reach a deal, we'll need it, and it will be leaving very soon."
It's worth noting that this deployment of US warships comes just days after Trump raised the possibility of a new round of talks with Iran, but these talks failed to take place. A top Iranian security official visited Oman and Qatar and exchanged messages through US mediators. Trump's statement could escalate tensions in the Middle East.
