US Navy sinks 6 Iranian boats in Hormuz as Trump issues stark Iran warning

The US Navy sank six Iranian speedboats in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions between the US and Iran. President Trump warned that Iran would be ‘blown off the face of the Earth’ if it dared to attack US-flagged vessels. The US has asserted that Iran’s military capabilities have been significantly degraded, and announced ‘Project Freedom’ to address congestion in the Strait of Hormuz.
