Expert analyses Donald Trump’s decision to send several aircraft carriers toward Iran

Former Defence Deputy Secretary for Strategy Peter Jennings says US President Donald Trump has spoken in the last 24 hours about limited strikes on Iran.

“He [Donald Trump] does tend to be someone who goes in very targeted, limited ways, and he’s spoken in the last 24 hours or so about limited strikes,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.

“You’ve got to contrast that against the reality, that there’s a lot of force in the region, more than is needed to just go and do a few more strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.”
