Iran threatens to escalate war after Trump says 'many countries' will send warships to strait of Hormuz

Iran threatens to escalate war after Trump says ‘many countries’ will send warships to strait of Hormuz (The Guardian)

US president calls on China, France, Japan and the UK to send vessels after US strikes Kharg Island oil facilities

Iran threatened on Saturday to further escalate the war raging in the Middle East by targeting any facility in the region with US ties, after Donald Trump predicted “many countries” would send warships to support a US bid to reopen by force the strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway closed to virtually all maritime traffic by Tehran since the beginning of the war.

Iran has responded to the joint US-Israeli offensive, which is entering its third week, with daily attacks on oil and other infrastructure around the Gulf region, as well as against Israel.

Both continued on Saturday with salvoes fired by Iran at Israel and a barrage of ballistic missiles directed at the United Arab Emirates.

Once other countries get involved Krasnov can get the hell out and blame them.

Hey Krasnov, remember what Mike Tyson said, "a lot of people have a plan, until they get punched in the mouth."

I suggest you surrender and get out before you get punched in the mouth.

PedoDon is the man who keeps imposing his
Illegal tariffs on “ many countries” but now he
is begging them for their assistance.
Ultimately, he is too insane to admit that he’s now on his own.

Also, he announced that he will end the war
when he feels it in his bones “spurs.”

Sad
