The Pentagon is reportedly preparing a second aircraft carrier for deployment to the Middle East amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. President Trump has indicated that he might send the carrier to strike Iran if negotiations regarding its nuclear program fail. He has expressed skepticism about reaching a deal, stating that it must address both nuclear and non-nuclear issues. As Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu visits Washington for talks, Trump has warned Iran that military action could be imminent if they do not negotiate terms seriously. Oil prices have surged following these developments, reflecting market concerns over the potential conflict.
