"The message is that [President Donald] Trump may apply more pain if the peace talks don't advance in the way Trump wants, according to retired U.S. Navy Captain Carl Schuster."
"Don't rush me, Trump said, interrupting the reporter's question. He went on: We were in Vietnam for 18 years, we were in Iraq for many, many years, we were four and a half, almost five years, in World War II, and we were in the Korean War for seven years. I've been doing this for six weeks."
"Their military is totally defeated, Trump stated, contradicting a recent assessment by his own Defense Department."
The USS George H.W. Bush has arrived in the Middle East, bringing the total number of US aircraft carriers in the region to three for the first time since the Iraq War. The carrier, equipped with over 80 aircraft and more than 5,500 personnel, raises concerns about potential escalation in the conflict with Iran. Analysts suggest that the deployment signals a warning from President Trump regarding negotiations with Tehran. Trump's recent comments indicate a dismissive attitude towards the duration of military involvement, despite contradicting assessments from defense officials.
