US President Donald Trump reacts to recent attacks involving US Navy warships in the Strait of Hormuz by criticizing Iranian leadership and warning of further consequences. According to multiple reports, Trump says three US Navy destroyers pass through the Strait of Hormuz under fire but are not damaged. He also claims that the US inflicted significant damage on the Iranian attackers. In his comments, Trump describes the attackers as being led by “lunatics.” Separate coverage also reports that Trump delivers a warning to Tehran that the US will respond more forcefully—using language such as “knock them out a lot harder”—if Iran does not sign a deal to end the conflict “fast.” The reports consistently frame the episode as an exchange of attacks around the Strait of Hormuz and link Trump’s remarks to both the immediate naval incident and his call for a negotiated agreement. Details beyond these broad points are not presented consistently across the sources.
