Trump Threatens Iran: 'We Will Obliterate Them' If They Attack US Ships

Donald Trump has threatened Iran, saying he would 'obliterate them' if they attacked US ships. The statements were made on Fox News, where Trump referred to the removal of ships from the Persian Gulf with the help of the US Navy.

Trump claimed that Iran has shown greater flexibility in peace negotiations. At the same time, he praised the US military presence in the region, stressing that the US has more weapons and military bases around the world.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to an attack on a South Korean ship and called on Seoul to join the operation to remove ships from the Persian Gulf. He also claimed that the US destroyed seven Iranian speedboats.

The 'Operation Freedom' was launched to remove third-country ships that had been trapped in the Persian Gulf after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump implied that the operation was carried out in consultation with Iran, which later denied any involvement.
