Trump: “I Have Time, Iran Doesn’t — Time Is Running Out”
ARK News.. U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States is not in a hurry to end the war with Iran, warning that “time is running out” for the Islamic Republic, as a third aircraft carrier arrives in the Middle East.
Speaking on social media on Thursday, April 23, 2026, Trump said: “I have time, but Iran doesn’t — time is running out!”
He added that the Iranian military has been “destroyed” and that “their leaders are no longer among us,” asserting that “the blockade is tight and strong, and from here, the situation will only get worse.”
Trump had earlier ordered the U.S. Navy to destroy any Iranian boat caught planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has been blockading since the start of the war that expanded across the region following a large-scale U.S.-Israeli attack on the country.
The U.S. military announced on Thursday the arrival of the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush in the Middle East, bringing the number of major American warships operating in the region to three.
