Trump says ‘massive armada' going towards Iran, but claims ‘maybe we won’t...’

US President Trump said on Thursday that the US has a "massive" armada headed toward Iran — but that “maybe we won’t have to use it” — as he remained coy about his intentions.

Speaking aboard Air Force One on his way back to the United States after speaking to world leaders in Davos, Switzerland, Trump said, “We have a lot of ships going that direction. We have a big flotilla going in that direction, and we'll see what happens.”

“We have a big force going toward Iran. I'd rather not see anything happen, but we’re watching them very closely. We have an armada. We have a massive - massively heading in that direction. And maybe we won’t have to use it. We will see,” Trump said.
