President Donald Trump said on Monday morning that he would blow up any Iranian ships that tried to break his new blockade. The president added that any boats that tried to break it would be “ELIMINATED” in the same way that his administration blew up boats from South America that were thought to be carrying drugs.
In a post on Truth Social, the president shared the news just 23 minutes after he blocked the Strait of Hormuz at 10:00 a.m. ET.
“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 posted. “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.”
