New military escalation as the war enters its eighth month. Trump: "Either they make a deal, or they won't be around for long."
The United States is deploying a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East, near Iran, in what appears to be a significant military escalation. A U.S. official reported this to Al Jazeera. The USS Theodore Roosevelt combat group departed from San Diego on Sunday, followed by an amphibious expeditionary unit with over 2,000 Marines. Overall, the new deployments could involve up to 10,000 additional troops.
This move comes as the war with Iran enters its eighth month and as President Donald Trump has warned Tehran that the current confrontation will end "very soon." In an interview with Time, Trump suggested he is prepared to escalate bombings after the November midterm elections. The Pentagon stated that the forces are "ready to go" if Trump orders new attacks.
The tension between the United States and Iran has been at a critical stage for months. The conflict began eight months ago, after the Trump administration launched a military campaign against Tehran, initially presented as a "few weeks" operation. Since then, the situation has progressively deteriorated, with both sides alternating military raids with failed diplomatic attempts.
The latest peace proposal came from Iran last week: a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume nuclear talks in exchange for an end to the U.S. naval blockade, the lifting of sanctions, and a regional ceasefire. Trump rejected the offer, calling the demands unacceptable. Meanwhile, Tehran is planning a broader and stronger military response in case of new large-scale attacks from the United States, according to sources close to the discussions.
