Trump Issues Stark Warning to Iran: ‘You’ll Be Blown Off the Face of the Earth’ if You Attack U.S. Ships

President Donald Trump has warned Iran it would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if it attacks U.S. vessels amid rising tensions near the Strait of Hormuz. He told Fox News that, under “Project Freedom,” Washington will use overwhelming force to protect its ships and ensure global shipping lanes remain open. Trump said Iran had shown some diplomatic flexibility but stressed America’s military superiority. He also claimed U.S. forces recently struck seven small boats and intercepted drones and missiles allegedly launched by Iranian forces. According to Trump, these actions support a broader effort to reopen the critical chokepoint through which about 20% of the world’s oil passes. This escalating exchange follows the U.S. Navy’s long-standing presence in the Gulf and reflects growing volatility that analysts warn could spark a wider conflict.
