Trump: A large U.S. fleet is headed for Iran, I wish nothing would happen.

He made this statement to reporters on Presidential Air Force One aircraft while returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Trump also confirmed that some important military elements have been sent to the Middle East, including a group of fighters under the command of an aircraft carrier and other military ships, reports resorters.

We have many ships going in that direction, in any case. We have a large fleet headed for Iran and we'll see what happens”He declared.

The American leader added that war is not his first choice and would prefer nothing like that, saying that “would like nothing to happen, but we follow it very carefully”.

According to 79-year-old, sending forces is a warning measure and serves as a demonstration of strength, but he does not want to use the military in conflict unless the situation becomes necessary.

Otherwise, Trump had repeatedly threatened to intervene against Iran because of the recent killings of protesters there, but the protests declined last week and “Trump rhetoric regarding Iran has softened”.
