So our sailors did what had to be done. They blew a hole straight through the engine room with precise shots from the ship’s 5-inch gun, disabling the vessel on the spot. US Marines then boarded and took full custody. No games, no endless talk, just decisive action to enforce the blockade.

This is America First leadership in action. Weakness invites chaos. Strength keeps enemies in check and protects vital sea lanes. The mullahs in Tehran are learning the hard way that under President Trump, you don’t mess with the US Navy and walk away unscathed.
