🔸 While American media report the deployment of the aircraft carrier task group “Theodore Roosevelt” and thousands of newly stationed military personnel to the Middle East, Donald Trump, the U.S. president, described the Islamic Republic as lacking a navy, an air force, radars, and effective air-defense systems, and said its economy is in “a very bad state.”

🔸 Mr. Trump, on Friday evening, 10 Mehr, at an election rally in Mobile, Alabama, said: “They have one thing that they really have; it’s called inflation.”

🔸 He again spoke about the very high inflation rate in Iran, adding that a war with Iran could “very soon, probably immediately after the elections” come to an end.

🔸 Meanwhile, several American news outlets have reported that the United States is sending the aircraft carrier task group “Theodore Roosevelt” and a blue-and-earth infantry group of Marine Corps forces to the Middle East; an action which, if completed, would bring the number of U.S. aircraft carriers in the region to three.

🔸 The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials, wrote that this deployment, along with the blue-and-earth “Makinn Island” group, will add between 9,000 and 10,000 more military personnel to the region.
