Gibraltar: The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford has been observed navigating through the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar, a strategic area near North Africa. This development coincides with U.S. President Donald Trump's directive for a significant troop deployment in the Middle East, in preparation for potential airstrikes against Iran.

According to Thai News Agency, President Trump has yet to address the American public regarding the rationale behind what could be the most forceful military action against Iran since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The situation has escalated as Iranian President Masoud Peseshkian announced that Iran would not yield to pressure from global powers amid ongoing nuclear negotiations with the United States.

In a related statement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated on Friday that he anticipates finalizing a draft proposal soon, following discussions with the US. The presence of the USS Gerald R. Ford in Gibraltar waters underscores the heightened tensions and strategic maneuvers in the region.
