Donald Trump announced to reporters on Saturday that he will soon make a decision regarding Iran, referring to the ongoing developments between Tehran and Washington. The U.S. President emphasized that "Iran is crushed," stating, "It’s a decision I will make about Iran. The only question is whether it will be the easy way or the hard way. We will solve this issue either the easy way or the hard way." He further added, "As you know, Iran has practically abandoned any plans to acquire nuclear weapons."

On Saturday, October 2nd, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refrained from answering questions about the deployment of a new aircraft carrier but stressed that the U.S. President is "determined" to prevent the Iranian government from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Hegseth, speaking with reporters on Saturday, avoided giving a clear answer to the question of whether a war with Iran would conclude by the end of this calendar year, three months from now, and attributed the decision to Donald Trump.

On Saturday, several U.S. news outlets reported that the Pentagon is deploying the aircraft carrier group "Theodore Roosevelt" and a Marine amphibious group to the Middle East; an action that, if executed, would bring the number of U.S. aircraft carriers in the region to three.

The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed U.S. officials, reported that this deployment, along with the amphibious group "Makinen Island," adds between 9,000 to 10,000 additional military personnel to the region. According to the newspaper, "Theodore Roosevelt" will join the aircraft carriers "George H.W. Bush" and "George Washington," which are already present in the area.
