Trump Threatens to Send Another Aircraft Carrier to Strike Iran

HeadlineFeb 11, 2026

President Trump is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House today as the U.S. continues to threaten Iran. On Tuesday, Trump said he could send another aircraft carrier to strike Iran if negotiations over the country’s nuclear program fail. Trump told Axios, “Either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time.” The U.S. and Iran held talks last Friday in Oman for the first time since the 12-day war back in June last year. Negotiations are set to continue, but a date and location hasn’t been confirmed yet. This is Ali Larijani, a top adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Ali Larijani: “From the beginning, we believe that war does not resolve matters between the two countries, and the regional disputes between Iran and the West must be resolved through dialogue. It is a mistake on the part of others to believe that they could resolve issues through the language of force.”
