Trump is moving a second aircraft carrier to the Mideast to pressure Iran

President Donald Trump says a change in power in Iran “would be the best thing that could happen” as the U.S. administration weighs whether to take military action against Tehran. Trump made the comments shortly after visiting with troops at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, on Friday and after he confirmed earlier in the day that he’s deploying a second aircraft carrier group to the Mideast for potential military action against Iran. Trump said the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, is being sent from the Caribbean Sea to the Mideast to join other warships and military assets the U.S. has built up in the region.
