US President, Donald Trump,
has announced that he has given his military permission to launch attacks
against Iranian Navy boats.
The president made the
announcement in response to reports that Iranian navy gunboats
were attacking
and harassing US vessels along the Strait of Hormuz with the belief that the US
won’t attack Iran as the US focuses on the Coronavirus pandemic.
Trump tweeting this
afternoon said;
‘I have instructed the
United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if
they harass our ships at sea.’
Trump’s tweets come two
weeks after he warned Iran of ‘a heavy price’ if the Islamic nation attacked US
troops stationed in Iraq or US vessels in the middle-East.
The Iranian government is yet
to respond to Trump’s tweet as at press time.
