This is The Guardian.
He's now in a position to actually come good on his threats
because massive US assets are now sort of in the region.
And by the way, there's another beautiful armada floating beautifully toward Iran right now.
So we'll see.
They should have made a deal the first time.
The levels of instability in the region have just been so vast that there's a sense it really couldn't cope with any more right now.
Donald Trump is sending a fleet of warships towards Iran.
He says they're prepared to attack.
From The Guardian's today in focus, this is the latest with me, Noshi Nikbar.
Joining me is Devika Bhatt, The Guardian's Deputy Head of International News.
Devika, thank you so much for joining us today.
It's obviously a very busy day for you.
Now, it was just two weeks ago, it feels like a lifetime ago,
that Trump said the US was about to strike Iran.
We were all on edge, nothing happened, and yet here we are again.

Yes, so you're right.
So yesterday he used truth social to sort of put forward this quite long post where he said that this fleet headed by the USS Abraham Lincoln is on its way.
quote, with great power, enthusiasm and purpose.
