The aggressive and terrorist American army and bandits violated the ceasefire by targeting an Iranian oil tanker that was moving from Iranian coastal waters in the Jask area toward the Strait of Hormuz. They also targeted another tanker as it was entering the strait opposite the port of Fujairah in the UAE, and simultaneously launched airstrikes on civilian areas along the coasts of Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island, in cooperation with some regional countries.

The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately responded by targeting American military vessels east of the Strait of Hormuz and south of Chabahar port, inflicting heavy losses on them.

The criminal and aggressive United States and its supporting countries must realize that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as in the past, will respond forcefully and without the slightest hesitation to any aggression or violation.

Following the violation of the ceasefire and the terrorist attack by the American military on an oil tanker belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran near the port of Jask, and the approach of the American military’s destroyers to the Strait of Hormuz, a large-scale and highly precise joint operation was carried out. Various types of ballistic missiles and anti-ship cruise missiles were used, along with suicide drones equipped with high-explosive warheads, targeting the enemy’s destroyers.

Intelligence monitoring indicates that the American enemy suffered heavy losses, and that three hostile warships quickly withdrew from the Strait of Hormuz area.

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. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently.

Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!

A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, 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!

Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.”

Just as in confronting Iran, so too in confronting Hezbollah, decision-makers made the mistake of underestimating the enemy’s strength and resilience. Intelligence knows how to assassinate a commander, but it does not know how to understand the other side’s forces and resilience.

The aggressive America and its supporting countries must know that the Islamic Republic, with its well-known strength, will deliver a crushing response to any aggression or violation without the slightest hesitation.

Donald Trump is the first president of the United States, of either party Republican or Democrat since World War II who has thumbed his nose at the importance of America’s relationships with our allies.

Thumbed his nose at it, walked away from them, points fingers at them, calls them names, degrades them in the Oval Office.

He’s the first president of the United States, of either party, who has not assumed a responsibility, imperfect though we may be, to be a standard-bearer around international rules and norms such as sovereignty and territorial integrity.
