"A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela. Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary."
"Hopefully Iran will quickly 'Come to the Table' and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS - one that is good for all parties. Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn't, and there was 'Operation Midnight Hammer,' a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse!"
"So now we're going to be talking about Iran for a while to cover for the fact that he's backed down on Greenland and on Minneapolis. Lindsey Graham is happy, but Graham has been obsessed with Iran since long before he sold his soul cheaply to the president. Of course, when the Iranian government started butchering protesters in the street by the car-load, the president vowed his support, only to chicken out again. Graham must have sprained his neck from the whiplash."
The president escalates military posturing toward Iran, deploying a large carrier group and issuing threats of severe attacks. The deployment is framed as a distraction from domestic political setbacks like Greenland and Minneapolis. A prominent senator supports pressure on Iran, reflecting long-standing hawkish obsession. Iranian protesters have faced extreme repression with thousands killed, and Iranian public trust in the United States is severely diminished. The president treats Iran primarily as a resource and geopolitical asset rather than a sovereign nation, while wishing for a rapid, implausible shift to secular governance.
