Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessels sail close to US military ships in the Persian Gulf near Kuwait on April 15.
The order came one week after 11 small armed Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps speedboats swarmed around six US Navy and Coast Guard ships in international waters in the northern Gulf. “What the president says sends a great message to Iran,” said General John Hyten, vice-chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Trump was referring to an incident that took place on April 15 while US Navy vessels were engaged in exercises as part of their patrols in the region.
