Donald Trump warned Iran to end its nuclear program and stop killing protesters or face potential US military action. Speaking at a documentary premiere, Trump stated that a large US armada was sailing to Iran. He claimed protesters were being killed in the thousands and that he had prevented executions. Trump's remarks coincided with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to Turkey to discuss a possible deal with the US. Trump's envoy has demanded an end to Iran's nuclear enrichment, limits on its missile program, and an end to support for proxy groups. Araghchi stated Iran would welcome a fair nuclear deal free from coercion that ensures Iran's rights to peaceful nuclear technology.
