Donald Trump says US warship are now being reloaded with “the best ammunition” in case peace talks with Iranian officials in Iran fail, according to reports.
Trump said in a phone interview with The New York Post that “we’re going to find out in about 24 hours” whether the talks have been successful.

The report said the call occurred just after Vice President JD Vance and his US delegation departed for Islamabad, where ceasefire talks are to begin today.
Trump said if the discussions stall, US war ships filled with weapons operating at a “higher level than we used to do a complete decimation” would be launched.
“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 as reported by The New York Post.
“And if we don’t have a deal, we will be using them, and we will be using them very effectively.”
