President Trump Hopes to Avoid Military Action Against Iran
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he hopes to avoid military action against Iran, which has threatened to strike American bases and aircraft carriers in response to any attack. "I built (up) the military in my first term, and now we have a group headed out to a place called Iran, and hopefully we won't have to use it," Trump told reporters.
Trump plans to hold further talks with Tehran on a possible nuclear deal, amidst rising tensions between the two countries. The US has dispatched another warship to the Middle East in response to increased Iranian aggression.
The White House described the move as part of a "show of strength" by the United States. However, Trump's comments suggest that he is keen to avoid conflict with Iran, at least for now. The US military has been on high alert since Iran shot down a US drone last year, leading to heightened tensions between the two nations.
Iranian officials have vowed to retaliate against any attack on its territory or interests. The country's Revolutionary Guard Corps has threatened to strike US bases and aircraft carriers, which would significantly escalate the conflict.

what kinda leader talks about building a strong military and then says he doesn't wanna use it lol like the us is actually prepared for a war with iran? newsflash, donkey 
you didn't exactly have great track record when it comes to dealing with iran in the past what makes this time any different? btw has anyone seen the ship that's been sent to the middle east? sounds like just another empty gesture to me 
. Trump says he hopes to avoid military action against Iran, but what's really goin' on? Is he tryin' to pull off some kinda covert op? I mean, why all these warships and military build-ups in the Middle East? It's like they're tryin' to provoke a reaction from Iran 
. And let's not forget, Trump built up the military during his first term, what does that even mean? Is he tryin' to make us look weak on purpose? 
I'm startin' to think there's more to this story than meets the eye... 
that would be a disaster for everyone involved! I mean, can you imagine if there was a big war between the US and Iran? It would be like, totally out of control and who knows what would happen. And think about all the innocent people in the middle of it all... 
my heart goes out to them. Fingers crossed that Trump's talks with Tehran will lead to something positive! 
think about all the ppl who could get hurt or worse... let's all be rooting 4 peace here 
. And what about all the innocent ppl who'd get caught in the crossfire? 
We can't even pretend that this wouldn't be devastating for the Middle East... it's just too much to think about 
. Like, what's the point of having a huge military if you're gonna use it to avoid conflicts? 
. I mean, we all know they've got some serious tech and firepower at their disposal 
. If Trump thinks he can just talk his way out of this one, I gotta be living under a rock... because it's not gonna end well 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that both sides can come together and talk things out. Military action is such a last resort, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt 
. Have you seen the new AR capabilities on the latest gaming laptops? Mind-blowing stuff
