Trump gave the order to sink Iranian ships approaching the US Navy

8

Donald Trump made an emotional statement. The US Navy will now sink any warships of Iran that obstruct the US Navy in the Persian Gulf region.

I ordered to attack and drown any Iranian ships if they pursue our ships at sea

Trump tweeted.



Representatives of the Iranian Navy previously reported that on April 15 an incident involving US warships occurred in the waters of the Persian Gulf. They also said that the Americans had provoked the military of Iran in retaliation. Official Tehran promised, if necessary, to decisively respond to any Washington aggression.


This is not the first time that countries have exchanged such passages. So, two years ago, the Iranian authorities promised to block the Strait of Hormuz, which would stop the export of oil that goes through it. Representatives of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said they could mine the strait and, if necessary, attack all tankers trying to still use this sea route.

If the warlike rhetoric of countries and their satellites is followed by real military operations, the region and the world as a whole can be put on the brink of a new large-scale conflict.

    Iran has already shown that it will not bend under the US. And Trump has an election soon, his "show-off" is now more important than business.

    Let him try to sink and see what happens. Iran, as far as I think, is not interested in the war, but if it is pressed, then ..... Then we'll see what happens, and so - you can say anything.

      There is nothing to look at - then the Persians will not have abruptly their boats with machine guns, and the chief ayatollah will run to pray to Allah so that he will punish the infidels, there will not be enough for more. If anyone doubts, I remind you that the Israelis regularly sent to the guria of Iranian warriors in the former. Syria, and the Persians in response are even afraid to fart loudly. The last time was the day before yesterday - 9 carcasses at a base in the Palmyra region as a result of an Israeli attack. What can we say about the answer to the amers ... hi

    The promise of the Iranians to block the Strait of Hormuz is Trump's pink dreams. With Saudi’s hands, they’ll chop off the Saudis in order to sell more oil themselves - this is in the spirit of the Yankees.

    Of course, they promise not to drown for the first time, perhaps everything will end with promises, but ....
    1. "Little victorious war" in the oil-rich region sounds very tempting. Even if in the end it turns out to be not so small and victorious. Anyway, this will entail an increase in oil prices and an injection of funds into the defense industry. But Trump has elections soon, you need to somehow prove yourself.
    2. In July, the embargo on Iran’s procurement of arms ends. This means that already in the fall the air defense and air force may be updated, coastal missile systems may appear. Subsequently, it will be more difficult to deal with it.
    3. Iran’s military capabilities are growing without lifting the embargo, today launched the first military satellite.

    I read last year that DARPA develops jelly in composition as used by some kind of fish. This jelly thickens in the water very quickly from the movement of the attacking fish and clogs their gills. After a couple of hours it dissolves, and if the fish is still alive, then it is lucky.
    So, having released such jelly into the water in the direction of the boat, the screw will stop. Simple and cheap ...
    But have finished the development or not - I don’t know ...

    Oh how. Well then, Trump needs to prepare bags for the bodies for his sailors. The Iranians, they are funny guys, they have suicide boats loaded by explosives I can’t find, which are difficult to find on the radar because of their small size, and there’s enough explosives for them to guarantee the destruction of the frigate with one kamikaze boat. And the destroyer will not seem enough ...
