In a move escalating tensions with Iran, the U.S. has dispatched a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East this week, as former President Donald Trump reiterated his controversial stance on using 'fear' as a negotiation tactic. Speaking at Fort Bragg Army base in North Carolina on February 12, Trump told troops: "Sometimes you have to have fear. That's the only thing that will get the situation taken care of."
The deployment, confirmed by Trump during his rally-style address, comes amid ongoing regional instability. Analysts suggest the show of military force aims to pressure Tehran in stalled diplomatic talks, though critics argue it risks further destabilization. 🌍💥
While the Biden administration has not yet commented on the carrier’s deployment, the move has sparked debates among global security experts. "This isn’t 2020 anymore," said one geopolitical analyst. "In 2026, the stakes are higher with shifting alliances and energy dynamics."
