Trump orders up new 'shoot and kill' operation in Strait of Hormuz

In yet another sign that things are not going well despite all his predictions that the war with Iran is about to come to a close, Donald Trumpis threatening more violence in the Strait of Hormuz where the Middle Eastern country has the upper hand.

The war, which the president claims the US has already won, has now been raging since the beginning of March and, despite White House announcements of a ceasefire, it continues with constant skirmishes.

That type of fighting appears to be accelerating with a presidential announcement on Truth Social on Thursday morning.

“I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation,” he wrote.

He added, “Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers’ are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
