US President said on Thursday that three US Navy destroyers passed through the under fire, adding that the American warships were not hit but “great damage was done to Iranian attackers”.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, he threatened more strikes if Iran did not sign the deal “faster”.
“Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“We’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!” he added.
His statement comes after the US military said that it carried out strikes on targets after three American destroyers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz.
On the other hand, Tehran accused Washington of launching the first strike.
The latest clash raised concerns over the fragile truce that came into effect on April 8, ending weeks of US and Israeli attacks on Iran.
