A dangerous new warning means Iranian "fast-attack" ships could be destroyed near a US blockade. US President Donald Trump issued this warning on Monday, shortly after a maritime blockade on Iran began. He posted on Truth Social that ships close to the blockade would be "immediately ELIMINATED," referring to previous US strikes that killed at least 110 people.
