Trump Gives Order To ‘Shoot Down And Destroy’ Iranian Gunboats Harassing U.S. Ships

President Trump directed the U.S. Navy to blast any Iranian ships that harass American vessels in the Gulf of Oman.

Trump issued the order a week after boats from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy sped close by several U.S. ships in the Gulf in what the U.S. Navy denounced as an “unsafe” and “unprofessional” maneuver that violated international maritime rules and customs.
