Trump Issues Stark Warning to Iran Over Attacks on US Naval Vessels
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump said Iran would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if it attacks American vessels operating under what he described as “Project Freedom,” according to remarks aired on Fox News on Monday.
Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst said he spoke with Trump for about 20 minutes regarding the situation with Iran, during which the president referenced US naval operations in the Strait of Hormuz and issued a strong warning to Tehran.
“I spoke with President Trump for 20 minutes about the situation with Iran. He talked about Project Freedom and the US efforts to guide vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, issuing a new warning to the Iranian regime saying if the Iranians try to target US ships in this area, they will be, quote, ‘blown off the face of the Earth,’” Fox News' Trey Yingst said.
Earlier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that American Navy guided-missile destroyers are currently operating in the Gulf after passing through the Strait of Hormuz as part of “Project Freedom,” which it says aims to ensure safe passage for commercial shipping.
Trump also suggested that Iran’s position has shifted compared to previous periods, saying Iranian officials are now “more malleable.”
He further stated that US military capabilities in the region are being reinforced, pointing to expanded weapons stockpiles and global military infrastructure.
“We have more weapons and ammunition at a much higher grade than we had before," he was quoted as saying.
“We have the best equipment. We have stuff all over the world. We have these bases all over the world. They’re all stocked up with equipment. We can use all of that stuff, and we will, if we need it," he added.
