The U.S. President promised to "blow" the Iranian coastline "to bits"
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, called on several countries from Europe and Asia to send their military ships to ensure the safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. This strategically important waterway has effectively been blocked due to threats from Iran, reports DW.
In his post on Truth Social, published on March 14, Trump expressed hope that countries such as China, France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, as well as other nations affected by this artificial restriction, would send their ships to the area. According to him, this is necessary to eliminate the threat from "a country that has been completely decapitated."
The President stated that the U.S. has already "destroyed 100% of Iran's military potential," however, the Iranian regime is still capable of "launching one or two drones, dropping a mine, or firing a short-range missile" in this crucial maritime route. Trump added that "the United States will blow the coastline to bits with bombs and constantly destroy Iranian boats and ships," emphasizing that soon the Strait of Hormuz will be open, safe, and free.
Earlier, it became known that Italy, France, and Greece have deployed their military ships in the Red Sea as part of the European Union's naval mission Aspides. However, the British newspaper Financial Times reported that no European fleet is ready to escort vessels through the strait due to concerns about escalating the conflict.
Additionally, according to the publication, several European countries have begun preliminary negotiations with Tehran to conclude an agreement that would ensure the safe passage of their vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. Among the mentioned countries were France and Italy, but Rome denied the information about negotiations with Iran, while Paris declined to comment. At the same time, sources report that there are no guarantees that these negotiations will be successful, although Iran is willing to discuss the topic in general.
