Iran War Live Updates: Trump Warns Iran After Hormuz Destroyer Strikes

US President Donald Trump said the US struck Iran after it fired on three Navy destroyers in Hormuz, warning of harder strikes if a deal isn’t signed fast. He said the ceasefire remains despite the exchange, downplaying Iran’s actions, "They trifled with us today.

Iran War Live Updates: Great Damage Done To Iranian Attackers, Say Trump

US President Donald Trump on Truth Social wrote, "Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently."

"Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air."

"They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave! A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!"

"Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel."
