Donald Trump has ordered the US Navy to destroy Iranian small boats, citing alleged mine-laying activities in the Strait of Hormuz. The order challenges current administration claims that Iran's naval capabilities have been effectively neutralized.
US President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that the US has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz and will keep it blocked until Iran agrees to a deal. Trump referred to the naval blockade of Iranian ports, stating 'No ship can enter or leave without the approval of the United States Navy.' The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions, with Iran reporting 3,375 deaths from US-Israeli attacks over 40 days. Iran has stated it will not comply with Washington's unilaterally announced ceasefire extension.
