Reference News Network, January 30 report: According to a report from Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" website on January 30, the U.S. Pentagon will be prepared to meet President Trump's instructions regarding Iran.
U.S. Secretary of War Hegseth said on the 29th that Iran can choose to reach an agreement with the United States and should not seek nuclear capabilities.
According to AFP, Iran warned that if the United States launched an attack, Iran would immediately strike American bases and aircraft carriers.
An Iranian military spokesman said on the 29th that Tehran's response to any American action would not be as limited as it was in June last year, but would take decisive action "immediately."
The Iranian military spokesman told the national television station that the U.S. aircraft carrier has "serious vulnerabilities," while the numerous U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf are "within the range of our medium-range missiles."
AFP quoted an anonymous U.S. official on the 28th, stating that the United States has deployed 10 warships in the Middle East. The official said that in addition to the "Lincoln" aircraft carrier and three accompanying destroyers, the United States has another three destroyers and three littoral combat ships in the Middle East.
Trump said that day that a large fleet led by the "Lincoln" was heading toward Iran. He called on Iran to reach an agreement and warned that time was running out, and the next U.S. attack on Iran would be even more intense.
On June 21, 2025, the United States briefly joined Israel's 12-day war against Iran, launching missile attacks on three key nuclear facilities in Iran.
