I've Been Thinking:
Following up on yesterday’s entry about Iran toying with US Naval forces in the Persian Gulf when 11 Iranian naval boats toyed with the US Navy’s 5th Fleet …
In a tweet, President Trump explained that he gave a direct order to the US Navy to shoot at the Iranians if this were ever to happen again.
The president’s exact tweet was: "I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea."
At the same time, Iranian media announced that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards successfully launched a satellite into orbit.
It’s all happening as Iran confronts the devastating effects of Coronavirus.
Trump is pushing back by ordering not just warning shots but orders “to shoot down and destroy any and all.”
This is not an ambiguous command. It is very clear. Now let’s see if Iran does it again.
