Washington(The COW News Digital)The United States has deployed a large military force toward Iran, including warships and combat aircraft, as part of what officials describe as a precautionary move amid heightened regional tensions.
Speaking to journalists aboard Air Force One, US President Donald Trump confirmed that American military assets are moving closer to Iran. He said the deployment includes multiple naval vessels and aircraft and is intended to maintain readiness rather than signal an immediate military operation.
“A large force is heading toward Iran,” President Trump said. “Many ships and aircraft are moving in that direction. We are positioning forces near Iran as a precaution. We’ll see what happens next.”
The president stressed that the military movement does not automatically mean the United States plans to launch an attack. He said Washington is closely monitoring developments and wants to ensure it is prepared for any scenario.

Trump also said the US administration is keeping a close watch on Iran’s internal actions. He claimed that Tehran reversed planned executions after warnings from Washington, adding that the United States would respond if certain red lines were crossed. Iranian authorities have not publicly commented on the claim.
According to foreign media reports citing US defense officials, a carrier strike group and additional military units have already begun moving toward the Middle East. The deployment reportedly includes the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, along with accompanying warships and combat aircraft.
US officials described the move as part of routine force posture adjustments aimed at deterring escalation and reassuring allies in the region. They emphasized that the deployment is defensive in nature and aligned with broader US security commitments in the Middle East.
President Trump reiterated that he does not seek further military confrontation with Iran. However, he warned that Washington would respond if Iran resumes activities related to its nuclear program. “If Iran restarts its nuclear ambitions, the United States will act,” he said.
The deployment comes amid ongoing uncertainty over Iran’s regional role and nuclear intentions, issues that have long strained relations between Washington and Tehran. Analysts say the movement of US forces is likely intended to send a clear signal of deterrence while keeping diplomatic options open.
Regional observers note that such deployments often raise tensions but can also serve as leverage in diplomatic engagements. The situation remains fluid, with international attention focused on whether the military buildup leads to talks or further escalation.
For now, US officials maintain that diplomacy remains an option, but preparedness is essential in an increasingly volatile region.
