Washington: US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering sending a second carrier strike group to the Middle East to increase pressure on Iran as indirect nuclear negotiations continue. The move follows continued diplomatic efforts with Oman as an intermediary and reflects concerns about regional security and Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

This potential development underscores the United States’ continued strategic focus on deterrence in the region, even as diplomatic channels remain open. President Trump’s comments signal a more aggressive stance aimed at increasing U.S. military influence in parallel with ongoing negotiations.
