US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if it attacks American vessels involved in “Project Freedom” in the Strait of Hormuz.

In an interview with media, Trump said he believes Iran has become “much more malleable” in ongoing peace negotiations, while stressing that the United States continues to expand its military presence in the region.

“We have more weapons and ammunition at a much higher grade than we had before,” Trump told Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst.

He added that the US possesses advanced equipment and maintains well-stocked military bases across the world, which could be deployed if necessary.
