‘Massive fleet’ heading to Iran – Trump | 23 Jan 2026 | Washington is closely “watching” the situation in Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump has said, apparently renewing his threats of using military force against the Islamic Republic over its handling of the [CIA/Mossad-backed] violent unrest… The protests grew political and violent, with Tehran blaming meddling by the U.S. and Israel, as well as infiltration of terrorist elements, for the turmoil. According to the latest official figures, more than 3,000 people have been killed in the violence, including nearly 700 terrorists. Tehran has repeatedly alleged that organized groups of militants have received instructions, weaponry, and other equipment from abroad, as well as have been paid for acts of violence against government officials and public property. While the Pentagon has not confirmed Trump’s statements on the fleet movements, multiple media reports have indicated that the aircraft carrier group led by USS Abraham Lincoln has been sent to the Middle East from the South China Sea.
