Trump, 79, Vows to Destroy Navy He Says He Already Destroyed

Donald Trump has undercut his own claim that Iran’s navy has been “completely obliterated” with a new threat to blow up Iranian ships he fears could be used against America in the Gulf.

As the U.S. began blocking ships from entering or exiting Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump on Monday threatened to conduct lethal strikes against Iran if they intervene, using the same type of attacks he ordered against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea.
