Trump threatens to 'blow Iran off face of the Earth' if US vessels attacked
Trump said U.S. forces would respond forcefully as 15,000 personnel and more than 100 aircraft support the new naval mission, officials said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump warned Iran it would be "blown off the face of the earth" if it attacks U.S. vessels during the Project Freedom escort operation in the Strait of Hormuz.
- The warning follows reported confrontations on Monday where Iran's navy allegedly fired warning shots at American warships, while U.S. military officials reported Iran launched missiles and drones at escorted vessels.
- U.S. Central Command stated the operation will deploy 15,000 troops, more than 100 aircraft, and guided-missile destroyers to ensure safe passage through the contested waterway.
- Trump's escalating rhetoric has prompted urgent, bipartisan demands from Democratic members of Congress and former allies to remove him from office, rallying around the 25th Amendment.
- Iranian Major General Ali Abdollahi stated security in the Strait remains in Iranian hands, while Trump previously threatened on Easter Sunday and April 19 that Iran would face annihilation if it did not comply.
