Trump vows to eliminate Iranian ships with | Political News

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to take out any Iranian ships that intervene with the U.S., utilizing the same weapons systems used against alleged narco-terrorists in the Caribbean and jap Pacific.

The menace comes amid the delicate two-week ceasefire announced last week, which got here to fruition after the president agreed to work around an previous 10-point peace proposal from Iran following his escalatory threats that a “whole civilization will die.” Now, U.S. and Iranian delegations met in Pakistan to negotiate an end to the struggle, which started in late February.

However, after more than 12 hours of face-to-face negotiations between Washington and Tehran, the talks ended Sunday without reaching an settlement.

Trump issued the warning Monday morning via Truth Social, while reiterating Washington’s claims that the U.S. militarily defeated Iran.

“Iran’s Navy is laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated – 158 ships,” Trump proclaimed. “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.

“Warning: If any of these ships come anyplace close to our BLOCKADE, they are going to be immediately ELIMINATED, utilizing the same system of kill that we use against the drug sellers on boats at Sea. It is fast and brutal.”

He added, “P.S. 98.2% of substances coming into the U.S. by Ocean or Sea have STOPPED! Thank you for your consideration to this matter. President DJT.”

The U.S. Navy created a blockade around Iranian ports around 3 p.m. Sunday after Washington threatened earlier to blockade the Strait of Hormuz following the failed peace talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threw his support behind Trump’s “strong stance to impose a naval blockade on Iran.”

U.S. CENTCOM announced that the blockade “might be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations coming into or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas.”

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says that Iran still controls the strait, dismissing Trump’s blockage threats as “ridiculous and laughable,” according to Iranian news agencies.

After the U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury, Iranian forces seized control of the Strait of Hormuz, where about a fifth of the world’s energy traverses, creating a blockade of U.S.-allied ships. As a result, global fuel prices have skyrocketed.

Reopening the key waterway is Washington’s central demand in negotiations. In his announcement about the two-week ceasefire, Trump indicated Washington’s upholding of the truce was dependent upon it.
