Trump Threatens to Eradicate Iran if "Freedom Project" Ships Attacked

 In May 2026, President Donald Trump threatened to completely eradicate Iran if it attacks ships participating in "Project Freedom." During Spring 2026, Trump confirmed the continued military buildup in the region, giving Tehran a choice between a deal or resuming full combat operations. In mid-May 2026 statements, he explained that the U.S. possesses a global arsenal and bases ready for use when strictly necessary. He revealed in 2026 the destruction of 7 Iranian fast boats, calling on South Korea to join the international maritime alliance in Hormuz.
