Trump tells The Post he’s preparing military if Iran fails to comply in talks: ‘We’re loading up the ships’
NY Post ^ | April 10, 2026 | Steven Nelson

President Trump told The Post on Friday that US warships are being reloaded with “the best ammunition” to resume strikes on Iran if peace talks in Pakistan fail.

Trump spoke shortly after Vice President JD Vance boarded Air Force Two en route to Islamabad, where he will be joined by special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner to negotiate a final peace after a two-week cease-fire was reached on Tuesday.

“We’re going to find out in about 24 hours. We’re going to know soon,” Trump said in a phone interview when asked if he thought the talks would be successful.

“We have a reset going. We’re loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made — even better than what we did previously, and we blew them apart,” he said.

“And if we don’t have a deal, we will be using them, and we will be using them very effectively.”

Retired four-star Army general Jack Keane said Friday the US is prepared militarily to take control of the Strait from Iran, and Trump won’t accept a bad deal.

“I know our forces can open up that Strait and protect the ships going through it,” Keane told Fox News. “People are hand-wringing about a drone here and a missile there … They don’t understand the plan and the details of the plan.

The US and Israel are undoubtedly using the time to track the movements of assets and personnel.

Wait, what? No "unnamed sources"? No "reports of"? No "officials close to the matter say"?

NOW I'm suspicious.

If i was Iran and had some missiles left, i would aim for the ports on the west shore. No reason to engage any military action.

Like I said, The psychomullah regime is not a religion. It’s a satanic death cult.
They use women and children as human shields and SUICIDE bombers!
They’ve gunned down tens of thousands of their own citizens.
They are criminal sadists!
Negotiations are a waste of time.
They are sociopathic and need to be exterminated like all other sociopathic serial killers with no regard for human life.

Absolutely. Spy planes and satellites are busy, Probably couldn’t ride a scooter through Tehran right now without either us or Israel knowing about it. Any place that was previously bombed showing any signs of re-infestation (for a better word?) will monitored.

Interesting that i should post this but, i think the two other eastern countries, Iraq and Afghanistan, we invaded and tried to fix and failed because they were backwater tribal entities. Iran (Persia) is an actual functioning country (not Arab) and would probably benefit the most from our taking the country over in a WWII like manner as in Europe and Japan. Not like the CIA and just install a corrupt king but actually let them establish themselves as we did 250 years ago. They might have been better off without Reza. back in the day.
