President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that he had ordered the destruction of Iranian gunboats harassing American ships.
“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 wrote on Twitter.
The president reacted to ongoing reports of Iranian gunboats who continue harassing American ships in the Persian Gulf.
Last Wednesday, 11 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps gunboats repeatedly harassed six U.S. Navy warships.

Shoot down? They have flying boats?
ReplyDeleteStop being anal 10:41 !!!!
DeleteAre you the grammar popo too?
A boat goes down if it has holes shot in it.
ReplyDeleteNo they have floating boats. Until they are shot down and then they sink down.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. President! I support you 100%!
ReplyDeletePresident Trump simply the best rules of engagement perfectly clear.
ReplyDeleteAnother order from Fox News for Trump to carry out.
ReplyDeleteHahaha you funny 1227, you should just stick with sesame street on pbs
Delete12:27- so stupid
DeleteWill only have to blow one of those piss ant boats out of the water, and the others will suddenly be out of sight. Kind of like when the Navy Seals blew the heads off the pirates that were hijacking ships off Somalia. Suddenly the hijacking stopped.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding?
DeleteThe hijacking stopped?
You mean people without heads found it difficult to hijack ships?
Yes and the ones that still had heads started using them 416

DeleteThis will really piss off Nancy. Impeach, impeach. Let them eat ice cream😂
ReplyDeleteSpent a lot of time in that Mid-East area.The only thing these people respect is strength. Talking, as the United State does a lot of, is a sign of weakness. They respect getting their butts kicked by a larger oppressor, that's what they call us the "Oppressors", because everyone knows that the US wants to take over Iran and steal all their riches. Right.
ReplyDeleteEleven boats would be taken out very quickly if the US really wanted to. And they should take out all eleven of their boats except if the US DOD gets a little backbone and decide to use one of their laser weapons on them. Then you take out ten boats and let the eleventh boat report back that they don't know what happened that their boats just started blowing up around them. The US really doesn't want to use this type of weapon in one of these small engagements. They want these weapon's capabilities kept under wraps until the real problems with China begins. So until the US DOD gets a little push, perhaps having ten of these boats loaded with explosives and coming in under the defenses of the ships and blowing them up, we will continue to be pushed around and humiliated.
Iran has missiles from Russia that can take out our ships if this escalates. Then our Airforce will have to take out all launching sites (bases), and a few other things, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteDid you mean to type: the US Air Force?
DeleteThe US ships?
I mean Me and You don’t have any ships or Air Force.
Take -Em OUT > & NO Prisoners !!!!

Are you insane?
Grow up. There are a lot of bad people in the world and most of them work for the government.
Biden wants Iran to have nuclear weapons because Iran promises not to use them
ReplyDeleteYes we do. I pay taxes, I am an American citizen, and they are ours. Just like my country is America. What are you the semantic police?
ReplyDeleteYou are identifying yourself with a tyrannical government that doesn’t care about you (or me).
DeleteWake up
