The US\u00a0Department of War\u00a0has deployed a\u00a0\u201cbig armada\u201d<\/em>\u00a0of warships and other military assets near Iran, US President Donald Trump has stated, while insisting that diplomacy remains an option.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Trump reportedly came close to ordering strikes on Iranian targets in response to a violent crackdown on anti-government protests that left thousands dead, according to a number of human rights groups. While he delayed that decision, military assets have continued to flow to the region.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Axios on Monday, Trump stated the situation with Iran remains\u00a0\u201cin flux.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a big armada next to Iran. Bigger than Venezuela,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said, referencing a US naval buildup near the South American nation\u00a0that led to the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.<\/p>\n
