Many people in Tehran and Tel Aviv are worried that Trump will make good on his threats to attack Iran again, but for some, it's fear laced with hope.

Trump said the fleet was larger than the one he sent to Venezuela, referring to his naval blockade of the South American country to prevent sanctioned oil tankers from leaving.

The Trump administration has targets but no endgame.

The president advised Iran make a deal or "the next attack will be far worse."

The president threatened Iran with an approaching warship used in the U.S. military's Venezuela operation, urging them to make a nuclear deal.

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran on Wednesday it should "make a deal" with the U.S. on its nuclear program or face a large-scale U.S. military attack.

President Donald Trump demanded that Iran's regime "come to the table" on Thursday, touting a "massive armada" the US has deployed to the region.

Trump on Wednesday revived the threat of military action against Iran and warned “time is running out” for a deal limiting its nuclear program.
