US President Donald Trump said Thursday that there is a "big force" heading towards Iran.
"You know, we have a lot of ships going in that direction, just in case. We have a big flotilla (heading) in that direction, and we'll see what happens,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Washington, DC from Davos, Switzerland.
"We have a big force going toward Iran. I'd rather not see anything happen," he added.
Trump said the US is watching Iran "very closely."
"We have an armada. We have a massive fleet heading in that direction, and maybe we won't have to use it. We'll see," he stressed.
