medium article 2 min

In January 2026, US President Donald Trump announced that a large US naval fleet was being deployed to the Gulf region, focusing on Iran. He stated the US was closely monitoring Iran and hoped military action would not be necessary. This announcement followed reports that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group was rerouted to the Middle East. Trump claimed his previous threats of force deterred Iran from executing protesters involved in recent anti-government demonstrations, which reportedly resulted in over 3,000 deaths. Despite the military buildup, Trump reiterated his openness to dialogue with Iranian leadership. Iranian officials have denied plans to execute protesters.
