00:00This is the USS Delbert D. Black.
00:02It's the latest American warship to reinforce what U.S. President Donald Trump calls the Armada near Iran.
00:08The destroyer with guided missiles docked in the port of Eilat in Israel on Friday.
00:13American pressure is stepping up a notch.
00:16The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, one of the most powerful in the world,
00:21already arrived in the area earlier this week.
00:24And in these satellite images, we can see a dozen American fighter jets stationed at a base in Jordan.
00:29With forces ready to intervene, Trump said on Friday that he's given Iran an ultimatum.
00:34We're now sending actually a larger number of ships to Iran.
00:40And hopefully we'll make a deal. If we do make a deal, that's good.
00:43If we don't make a deal, we'll see what happens.
00:46In total, around 10 military vessels have been sent by the U.S. to the area around Iran.
00:51They are in addition to the American forces already deployed at bases in the region, including 40,000 soldiers.
00:57Several scenarios are emerging.
01:00A naval blockade that would prevent Iran from exporting its oil,
01:03or surgical strikes against what remains of the Iranian regime's nuclear and ballistic programs.
01:09These strikes could be combined with other targets.
01:11This time, we could see a combination of decapitation strikes,
01:18for example, against key figures in the Revolutionary Guards,
01:23or perhaps even more so, targeting the inner circles of power.
01:29Despite the power of the American deployment, many uncertainties remain.
01:33Would it be enough to topple the regime?
01:36And what will Tehran's response be?
01:38Likely reprisals could destabilize the region.
