US-Iran tensions: What military ‘armada’ has Trump sent toward Tehran so far

Amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, the U.S. military has positioned a significant naval presence in the region, signaling a potential readiness for military action. As of the latest reports, President Donald Trump is contemplating a decisive response to Iranian provocations, with strikes possible as soon as this weekend. This development has raised alarms internationally, particularly as Iran and Russia have engaged in joint naval exercises in the Sea of Oman, aimed at showcasing their military cooperation and deterring unilateral U.S. actions. The situation remains fluid, with diplomatic channels still open, but the military buildup underscores a critical moment in U.S.-Iran relations, which have been fraught with tension since the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal in 2018. Observers are closely monitoring the situation, as any miscalculation could lead to a significant escalation of conflict in an already volatile region.
