Trump til US Navy: Skyd hvis de generer jer

Præsident Donald Trump har i dag instrueret den amerikanske flåde om skyde mod iranske fartøjer, der måtte genere flådens skibe. Det sker en uge efter at 11 hurtiggående maskingeværbevæbnede både fra Den Iranske Revolutionsgarde flåde kom faretruende tæt på amerikanske skibe i Golfen.

“Jeg har instrueret den amerikanske flåde om at skyde og ødelægge alle iranske bevæbnede både, hvis de generer vores skibe til søs,” skrev Trump i et tweet timer efter, at den Iranske Revolutionsgarde sagde, at det havde sendt Irans første militære satellit ud i rummet.

I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.

En amerikanske flådestyrke bestående af det fremskudte baseskib USS Lewis B. Puller, destroyeren USS Paul Hamilton, patruljebåden USS Firebolt og kystvagtskibene Wrangell og Maui, befandt sig i internationalt farvand i den nordlige del af Den Persiske Golf, da de 11 iranske hurtiggående både cirklede rundt om dem i en times tid.

De amerikanske fartøjer var i gang med at gennemføre en øvelse med Apache angrebshelikoptere stationeret om bord på USS Lewis B. Puller, da episoden fandt sted.
