Trump GOES MUTE as 5 TANKERS ATTACKED in 24 HOURS!!!
"Iran has now struck five ships with a combination of drones and missiles severely damaging these five tankers. The Iran speedboats have been able to disable these five ships from Saudi Arabia, from Qatar, from other areas. And they're sending a message which is the memorandum of understanding governs that the IRGC controls the straight of Hormuz and don't take our new relationship together as a sign of weakness."
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has attacked five commercial tankers using US military-designated shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, defying an American effort to establish alternative routes. The IRGC broadcast warnings over VHF radio that vessels must only use Iranian-approved routes, effectively shutting down the US-backed Oman lane. The attacks targeted Saudi, Qatari, and UAE-owned vessels during the NATO summit in Ankara, signaling Iran's insistence on controlling the strategic waterway despite ongoing negotiations with the Trump administration.
