Trump threatens to destroy Iran's remaining small boats

President Donald Trump has issued a new threat against Iran's naval forces, stating, "Some small boats are all that remains of the Iranian Navy, and we will destroy them too." When asked about when the conflict with Iran might end, Trump responded by referencing the prolonged US engagements in Vietnam and Iraq, suggesting the US should not rush. This statement escalates his previous threats against Iran's asymmetric naval capabilities and indicates a willingness for a protracted confrontation. The comments come amid an ongoing US naval blockade and heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
