Trump Says the Iran Ceasefire Is Over—Then Two U.S. Carriers Move In

Tensions with Iran are heating back up as the U.S. moves two aircraft carriers and roughly 20 warships toward Iran, including the USS George H.W. Bush and USS Abraham Lincoln near the Gulf of Oman, while Trump posts destruction footage and says Iran called wanting a deal after U.S. strikes. Iran denies that claim, its parliament speaker says Tehran does not trust the United States, and Israeli intelligence has reportedly warned U.S. officials about a new Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, raising the stakes around Trump's reported instructions to retaliate at unprecedented levels if such an attack succeeded.
