Reuters is reporting on US President Donald Trump's recent remarks with regards to Iran:

"US Navy ships will shoot Iranian gunboats that get too close 'out of the water,' President Donald Trump said on Wednesday after 11 vessels from Iran's elite fighting force came dangerously close to American ships in the Gulf."

"We're not going to stand for it. If they do that that's putting our ships in danger and our great crews and sailors in danger - I'm not going to let that happen. And we will - they'll shoot them out of the water."

"That's a threat. When they get that close to our boat, and they have guns, they have very substantial weapons on those boats, but we'll shoot them out of the water."

More to come...
