US Warship Spotted Near Singapore
The US warship Boxer Amphibious, equipped with multiple aircraft, transited through the strategic Strait of Malacca on Tuesday, as the US remains alert following the latest negotiations with Iran.
Footage from the port of Singapore shows the USS Boxer carrying various logistical equipment, including the well-known multirole fighter jet, the F-35, as it transits through the Strait.
The Boxer was originally on course for the Middle East, carrying over 2,000 marines.
Gulf States Urge More Negotiations
The sighting comes after US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he is postponing a planned military attack on Iran at the request of Gulf states, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, due to ongoing ‘serious negotiations.’
In a post on True Social, he mentioned that a deal informed to him would be ‘very acceptable’ to the US while repeating his stance, “NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!”
Iran Responds To Washington Proposals
However, he warned that the US is prepared to launch a large-scale assault on Iran if an acceptable deal is not reached soon.
In response, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei said on Monday that Tehran has responded to the latest US proposals – and that Iran was working with Oman and others on navigation in the Strait.
A ceasefire was declared in April, with a number of proposals and counter-proposals reportedly exchanged between the sides via Pakistani mediators.
