Trump's week in review: Tensions with Iran continue; Rubio visits Pope Leo
3. Tensions with Iran continue despite Trump declaring Operation Epic Fury could be ‘at an end’
In a series of Truth Social posts throughout the week, Trump provided updates on the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
In a post on Wednesday, the president indicated the fighting could soon come to an end: “Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran.”
However, he also warned that “If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.” Trump’s comments came amid an ongoing ceasefire and negotiations aimed at permanently ending the conflict.
In a Truth Social post Thursday, Trump announced that “Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire.” He clarified that “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,” he added.
Trump vowed that “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!”
