Washington: US President Donald Trump has intensified pressure on Iran. He has sent a second warship targeting Iran. Trump responded that the warship will be needed if an agreement is not reached with Iran on the nuclear issue. Trump also said that if an agreement is reached, it can be withdrawn. The new one is the Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier. Earlier, the Abraham Lincoln was sent to the Middle East. Gerald R. Ford is the same ship that was part of the mission that captured Venezuelan President Maduro. This aircraft carrier can carry up to 75 aircraft, including 60 fighter jets. The talks held by the US special envoy with the Iranian Foreign Minister in Oman have not made much progress. Trump has warned that there will be a response if an agreement is not reached within a month.
