Iran's supreme leader shares doomsday vision, AI image shows USS Gerald R. Ford burning after threat

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a direct warning to President Donald Trump, threatening that U.S. aircraft carriers operating near Iranian waters are not invincible. The remarks come as Washington expands its military posture in the Middle East, including a double-carrier deployment near the Strait of Hormuz — the world’s most critical oil chokepoint. Iran’s IRGC has intensified naval drills and declared that its most dangerous weapons remain classified, fueling speculation about Tehran’s undisclosed deterrence capabilities. This escalation unfolds alongside high-stakes U.S.–Iran nuclear negotiations in Geneva, where diplomacy continues under the shadow of possible confrontation.
