Fears the US may attack Iran erupted once again on Friday after Donald Trump issued a thinly-veiled threat to "difficult" Iran.
“We have a situation right now where we have sent a very big carrier group to Iran,” Trump said speaking to soldiers at Fort Bragg in North Carolina today (February 13). “I would love to see if we could make a deal. They’ve been difficult to make a deal with,” he also added.
Quoted by theTimes of Israel, he said: “I thought we would have had a deal last time. They wish they did and that’s what we did, Midnight Hammer,” Trump says, referring to the June operation in which the US struck several of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“Sometimes you have to have fear. That’s the only thing that really will get the situation taken care of,” he also added.

This comes after Iran issued a chilling threat to strike US troops in the Middle East yesterday, as fears of war between Tehran and Washington grow. Al-Alam news channel, owned by the state-owned media corporation Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, shared a video on X indicating the US military base of Eskan Village in Saudi Arabia as a surveilled target. Eskan Village is a US Air Force housing compound near Riyadh which was established after the 1991 Gulf War.
The USS Lincoln is presently stationed in the Middle East along with several other vessels. Trump also held discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday regarding their respective nations' boundaries on nuclear negotiations with Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported.
