# US president Donald Trump has threatened to sink any Iranian ships that come near the American blockade of Iranian ports. The blockade came into effect yesterday evening, with Trump claiming to have “obliterated” 158 Iranian ships. The US Central Command ships travelling between non-Iranian ports will be allowed to transit the Strait of Hormuz. Trump says they will use the same system of kill that they have used against the drug dealers on boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, where over 300 alleged drug smugglers have been killed since September last year.
