President Trump threatened Iran with potential military action if it doesn't agree to U.S. demands, including a permanent end to uranium enrichment. He referenced a "massive Armada" moving towards Iran, drawing parallels to a recent operation in Venezuela. U.S. and European officials have presented Iran with three demands: ending uranium enrichment and disposing of stockpiles, limiting ballistic missiles, and ceasing support for proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. The threat comes as a U.S. aircraft carrier group positions itself within striking distance of Iran. While Trump previously pledged support for Iranian protesters, his recent statements have omitted any mention of them.
