Iran has been warned that if it attacks U.S. ships, the Islamic Republic will be “wiped off the face of the Earth,” according to U.S. President Donald Trump, pushing the fragile ceasefire between the two countries to the brink amid rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz; on Monday, hostilities escalated again in the Persian Gulf region, with reports that Iran launched an Attack on the United Arab Emirates, while Trump claimed U.S. forces had sunk seven small Iranian boats near the strategic waterway; in an interview with Fox News, he highlighted Washington’s military strength, saying the United States now possesses far more advanced weapons and ammunition than before, with global bases fully equipped and ready for use if necessary; however, Iran’s state news agency IRNA, citing a military source, dismissed the U.S. claims as false, stating that no Iranian warships had been sunk.
