President Donald Trump announced in a tweet Thursday morning that he has “instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.”

The order came after recent Iranian aggression against U.S. Navy ships in the Persian Gulf. The U.S Navy’s 5th fleet reported that six Navy warships were conducting drills with U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters in international waters off the Iranian coast last Wednesday when they were repeatedly harassed by 11 Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Navy ships. The 5th Fleet added that the Iranian ships repeatedly crisscrossed the U.S. vessels at extremely close range and high speeds, coming within ten yards at one point.

The Navy statement said that Iran’s dangerous and provocative actions “increased the risk of miscalculation and collision” and that they violated international maritime “rules of the road.”
Furthermore, on April 1, President Trump revealed on Twitter that he received information that Iran was “planning a sneak attack on U.S. troops and/or assets in Iraq.”
The Iranian regime has been hostile towards the U.S. since the Islamic Revolution in the late 1970’s.

Report: Captured Terrorists Confirm Shifa Hospital’s Role as Hamas Hideout
The Israel Defense Forces released footage alongside a statement on X of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives admitting that a huge amount of terror operatives are hiding in the Shifa Hospital in Gaza. The depositions are described in the statement as containing “details of Hamas terror infrastructure deeply embedded within the hospital, which is used by senior Hamas operatives for planning and directing terror attacks.”
One associate from Islamic Jihad told interviewers that he estimated that there were as many as 1,000 militants stationed in and around the medical campus, including certain sections that “belong” to his group. The individual described the maternity ward as his organization’s “headquarters.”
According to some of the prisoners in the recordings, the building’s medical residency department is serving as an improvised weapons storage room.
Some of the detainees claimed to have been stationed at the facility for as long as three months, which the Foreign Desk News explains suggests that the terror groups reestablished their positions shortly after Israel withdrew from the facility on November 15.
The hospital is a prime location for terrorists to conduct operations out of because they do not abide by International law, which requires that medical infrastructure be demilitarized during times of conflict. Additionally, any attempt to use them for belligerent activity is supposed to result in negating the statutory protections that they are given. However, “This distinction is important in light of criticism that Jerusalem has received for currently attempting to regain control of what is Gaza’s largest health care facility” according to the Foreign Desk News.
🔴WATCH: Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives reveal firsthand that "between 600 to 1,000" Hamas operatives are hiding in the Shifa hospital.
