""We have a massive fleet heading in that direction and maybe we won't have to use it we have a lot of ships heading in that direction, just in case," Trump said when speaking of a possible US reaction to ongoing unrest in the Islamic Republic. "We're watching Iran," said Trump. "I'd rather not see anything happen but we're watching them very closely.""
""Iran was rocked by nationwide anti-government protests that began in late December and have yet to be entirely quelled; though the government's brutal crackdown on dissenters has kept most Iranians at home, fearful of repression, arrest or death. On January 8, Iranian government has decided to cut off all internet access and to block international phone use. Internet monitor NetBlocks on Friday said that the blackout had now entered its third week.""
President Donald Trump renewed threats of military action against Iran while aboard Air Force One, saying a 'massive fleet' was heading to the region and 'we're watching them very closely.' He previously urged Iranian protesters to seize institutions and pledged 'help is on its way,' then said he had been told 'killing has stopped' and Iran had no plans to execute detainees. The Pentagon has not confirmed fleet movements, though AP reports the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group is moving from the South China Sea toward the Middle East. Nationwide anti-government protests began in late December and prompted a brutal crackdown; Iran cut internet and international phone access on January 8, and NetBlocks said the blackout entered its third week.
