Donald Trump has threatened that Iran will be “blown off the face of the earth” if it attacks US vessels trying to reopen a route through the strait of Hormuz.

The US launched an operation on Monday to help hundreds of ships trapped with their crews in the Gulf, dragging the region back to the brink of full-scale war.

Over 800 ships and roughly 20,000 crew members remain stranded in the region.

        That’s like 95% of the reason he shredded it. Same reason he claims he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, outright hates ACA, and did everything he could to undo literally everything Obama did.

        Exactly the same reason he cut the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, which was Obama’s defense when H7N9 broke out. Then COVID came and no response group
