President Donald Trump has issued a direct threat against Iran's naval forces, stating the United States will "take those small boats out in Iran when we see them." This statement reinforces and clarifies a previously reported kill order targeting Iran's small, fast boats operating in the Persian Gulf region. The order is a direct response to Iran's use of fast-boat swarms to seize commercial vessels, a tactic that challenges the US naval blockade. The threat escalates the risk of direct naval clashes in the strategic waterway.
