Trump pressures Iran to 'come to the table' as 'massive' US armada draws near

Iran must offer a ‘good deal’ or face ‘the hammer’ as US armada arrives: Expert

Retired Navy Captain Brent Sadler joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss the arrival of a U.S. carrier strike group in the Middle East, warning the Iranian regime to make an offer or face potential strikes.

President Donald Trump urged Iran to "come to the table" as the U.S. deploys a "massive armada" to the region on Wednesday.

"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 on Truth Social.

"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 added.
