Trump says Iranian ships that come close to US blockade will be eliminated US President Donald Trump has warned that Iranian ships that come close to the US blockade of Iranian ports will be immediately eliminated. Iran’s Navy is laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated - 158 ships. What we have not hit are their small number of, what they call, “fast attack ships,” because we did not consider them much of a threat, Trump said on Truth Social.
Warning: If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED, using the same system of kill that we use against the drug dealers on boats at Sea. It is quick and brutal. P.S. 98.2 of Drugs coming into the U.S. by Ocean or Sea have STOPPED!
