President Trump sent a warning to Iran this morning about their nuclear program, saying they need to come to the table quickly and negotiate a deal or else the next US attack will be far worse then the one last year that destroy their major nuclear plants.
He led with the fact that a massive armada, which includes the Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, is on the way and mentioned Venezuela twice, invoking the invasion and arrest of Maduro earlier this month.
Here’s what he wrote in full:
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. 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump was very decisive last year when he sent B2 bombers to destroy Iran’s major nuclear facilities, but he wasn’t as decisive when following up on his threat to Iran over killing protesters. At least 6,000 protesters have been confirmed dead and another 17,000 are being investigated by US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. We know that Trump’s red line change to public hangings, because he’s touted stopping them from doing that.
So will he attack Iran again? I really don’t know. He’s clearly drawing a red line over negotiating this deal, but I thought he drew one over killing protesters in Iran.
