Trump mobilises 'armada' in veiled threat to Tehran
The Independent
|January 24, 2026
Donald Trump has warned that an “armada” of US military ships is sailing towards Iran, as the death toll from the regime’s brutal crackdown on protesters surpassed 5,000, according to a human rights group.
“We have a lot of ships going that direction, just in case,” the US president told reporters onboard Air Force One on his return from the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“I'd rather not see anything happen, but we're watching them very closely... We have an armada... heading in that direction, and maybe we won’t have to use it.”
The US military moved more assets towards the Middle East after protests began in Iran late last month. These included the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and associated warships travelling with it from the South China Sea, according to the Associated Press.
