Iran targeted more ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, jeopardizing peace negotiations with the US.
Per CBS, at least three ships in the Strait appeared to come under attack. One of the ships was a Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker that caught fire, risking an explosion. A second Saudi-flagged crude oil tanker was also targeted by a missile, and a third unidentified ship was hit by a drone.
Audio obtained by Fox earlier shows the Iranian Navy threatening one of the ships.
“This is the last warning, this is last warning, this is last warning. You are all in danger. Don’t put your life in danger. You are ordered to alter course. Do so immediately, alter course, do so immediately, and use the south of Larak Island. If you disobey, you will be targeted. Navy out,” the Iranians said before reportedly attacking.
Via Fox:
This comes after fighting temporarily resumed late last month, with the US responding to Iranian strikes on ships in the Strait by targeting Iran’s military in and near the Strait of Hormuz.
The US and Iran agreed to halt strikes and meet in Doha last weekend after the US launched multiple strikes against Iran in response to Iran targeting commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump told reporters last week, “We hit them very hard for three nights, as you know, but we’re getting along very well, so I call it the denuclearization, and it’s all taking place. It’s all going well.”
Still, Trump told reporters on Monday that he may “finish the job” in Iran if no deal is made.
“And it won’t be tough to finish the job. I’d rather make a deal because I don’t want to affect 91 million people,” the President said.
“We can knock down their bridges in one hour. We can knock out their energy supply. All of those big plants that they built, big, beautiful, modern plants. They had a lot of money. They don’t have any money now. We haven’t given them any money. But we can knock out their electricity and power-generating plants in, I would say, a small part of an afternoon. Every plant will be gone, and they know that.”
WATCH:
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded on Tuesday, saying Iran’s military will not be “moved by any threats” and threatening that “negotiations on final Deal will not commence if threats continue Honor your signature”
Millions of proud Iranians rallied in unity to honor Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and his legacy. Neither them nor our Brave Armed Forces are moved by any threats.
