middle east The tension seems to be increasing once again. US President Donald Trump has claimed that three US naval warships were fired upon heavily while passing through the Strait of Hormuz. However, American ships remained completely safe and Iranian attackers had to suffer heavy losses in retaliation.

According to Trump, this incident has happened at a time when military tension between America and Iran is continuously increasing in and around the Strait of Hormuz. This sea route is considered very important for global oil supply and any kind of military clash here can increase the concern of the whole world.

What did Trump say about the attack?

Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social, “Three world-class American destroyers have just successfully passed the Strait of Hormuz under heavy fire. All three warships were undamaged, but the Iranian attackers took heavy damage. They were completely destroyed along with several small boats, which are being used to replace their completely destroyed navy.” He claimed that the missiles fired at American ships were destroyed midway and drones were also shot down in the air.

Trump described the attack in a very aggressive manner, writing, “Missiles were fired at our warships, and they were easily destroyed. Similarly, the drones came and were destroyed in the air. They fell very gracefully into the sea, just like a butterfly falls into its grave.”

What is Trump’s warning to Iran?

The US President gave a stern warning to Iran and said that if it does not sign the agreement soon, more stringent military action will be taken. “If they don’t sign their deal as soon as possible, we will drive them out even worse and more violently in the future,” Trump wrote in the post. He refused to accept Iran as a normal country, saying, “A normal country would have allowed these destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal country. Madmen rule here.”

What did Trump say about nuclear weapons?

Trump once again said that Iran will never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. He also said that US warships have now again been deployed in the area, which he described as a naval blockade like a “wall of steel”. He wrote “Our three destroyers, with their illustrious crews, will now rejoin our naval blockade, which is truly a ‘wall of steel’.”

What is the US Army’s claim?

According to the US Central Command, the US military targeted Iranian military targets that were allegedly attacking US warships with missiles, drones and small boats. The US Army said that no American military property was damaged in this entire incident.

What is Iran’s counterattack?

On the other hand, Iranian government media has made serious allegations against America. Iran says the US strikes were carried out on Iranian territory and civilian coastal areas near Qeshm Island, Bandar Khamir and Sirik, which are a violation of the ceasefire. Iran has warned that if any further aggressive action is taken, it will be given a strong response.
