The aircraft carrier Harry Truman was named after the 33rd President of the United States, Harry Truman.

It entered service in July 1998 and its home port is the Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia.

Trump threatens Houthis and Iran: "True pain is yet to come"

According to CCTV News, on March 31, US President Trump stated that he would continue to crack down on the Houthis in Yemen. He also threatened the Houthis and Iran: "True pain is yet to come."

In a post on his social media platform "Truth Social," Trump said that over the past two weeks, the Houthis had suffered heavy losses after being continuously hit hard, and their ability to threaten shipping and the region was being rapidly destroyed.

Trump said: "The Houthis' choice is clear, either stop firing at US ships, and we will stop firing at you. Otherwise, we have just begun. True pain is yet to come for the Houthis and their supporters in Iran."

After Trump ordered on March 15 to take "decisive and forceful military action" against the Houthis, the US military began continuous airstrikes against the Houthis.

Iran reiterates it will not seek, produce or acquire nuclear weapons under any circumstances

According to CCTV News on April 2, on April 1, Iranian Foreign Minister Alireza Aragchi stated that Iran reiterated that under no circumstances would it seek, produce or acquire nuclear weapons.

Aragchi said that ten years have passed since the signing of the JCPOA, and seven years have passed since the US unilaterally withdrew from the agreement, but there is still no evidence showing that Iran has violated this commitment. He also mentioned that past diplomatic interactions have proven their effectiveness, and they are still feasible now, but everyone must be clear that there is no so-called "military option," let alone a "military solution."

According to a report by NBC on March 30, US President Trump threatened that if Iran does not reach an agreement with the US regarding its nuclear issue, the US will bomb Iran and impose "secondary tariffs" on its related products.

On March 31, Amir Saeed Ilkhani, Iran's permanent representative to the UN, issued a stern warning against any military adventurism in a letter to the UN Security Council, stating that if the US or Israel launches any aggressive actions or attacks against Iran's sovereignty, territorial integrity, or national interests, Iran will respond swiftly and decisively.
