us President donald trump Three US naval destroyers came under fire while passing through the Strait of Hormuz, but they were unharmed during the incident, it was claimed on Thursday. He also warned of strong military action if Iran did not agree to sign the deal quickly.In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Three world-class American destroyers just exited the Strait of Hormuz under fire, very successfully. The three destroyers were unharmed, but the Iranian attackers took heavy damage. They were completely destroyed along with several smaller boats, which are being used to replace their completely destroyed navy.”The incident comes amid rising tensions in and around the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route, where both the United States and Iran have recently reported attacks and counter-attacks. In his post, Trump described the attack as intercepting missiles fired at US ships and destroying drones in the air, describing it as ‘like a butterfly falling on its grave’.“Missiles were fired at our destroyers, and they were easily shot down. Similarly, the drones came, and were incinerated while still in the air. They fell into the sea so beautifully, just like a butterfly falling on its grave!” He wrote further.Issuing a stern warning to Iran, Trump said the country would face more intense military action if it did not agree to a deal soon.“In the future if they do not quickly sign their agreement we will expel them even more harshly and much more violently,” he wrote.Describing it as a country led by ‘madmen’, he also said that Iran is not a ‘normal country’.Trump wrote, “A normal country would have allowed these destructive planes to pass, but Iran is not a normal country. They are led by LUNATICS.” He also reiterated his earlier claims that Tehran should never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.Trump also said the three destroyers would now return to end what he described as a US naval blockade in the region.He wrote, “Our three destroyers, with their wonderful crews, will now rejoin our naval blockade, which is truly a ‘wall of steel’.”The comments come hours after reports of military exchanges in and around the Strait of Hormuz. According to US Central Command, US forces targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for ‘unprovoked’ missile, drone and small boat attacks against US warships passing through the strait. The US military said no US property was damaged during the incident.However, Iranian state media accused the United States of ceasefire violations by attacking Iranian territory and civilian coastal areas near Qeshm Island, Bandar Khamir and Sirik, and warned of a ‘crushing response’ to any further aggression.
