Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a new threat against Iran on the morning of April 13, 2026, announcing that the U.S. would impose a blockade on Iranian ports. He stated that any Iranian naval vessels that approach the blockade would be sunk by U.S. forces. According to CNN, Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, that although the Iranian navy has been "completely destroyed," U.S. forces have not yet sunk its "fast attack craft." He warned that if these vessels approach the blockade, the U.S. Navy would employ tactics similar to those used against suspected drug trafficking boats. Trump's post explicitly stated: "WARNING: If these vessels approach our blockade, they will be immediately destroyed, using the same kill methods we use against drug traffickers at sea. The process is swift and brutal."
