In an interview with ABC News, the president answered the question whether retaliatory attacks on Iran would mean the end of the truce. Trump has vehemently denied that there was a breakup.
“It was just a gentle warning,” Trump said, quoted by ABC journalist Rachel Scott in a television interview. — The ceasefire is still in force. It is in force, he emphasized.

On the Truth Social platform, the president described the exchange of fire. He reported that the Iranian boats and drones that attacked destroyers passing through the Strait of Hormuz were completely annihilated by American forces, and the Iranian crews suffered serious losses.
Trump used the incident to issue a broader warning against Tehran, referring to the issue of Iran's nuclear program. In harsh words, the president issued a direct threat to Iran.

“A normal country would let these destroyers pass, but Iran is not a normal country. It is run by madmen, and if they had the opportunity to use nuclear weapons, they would not hesitate for a moment. But they will never get that chance, and if they do not sign the agreement soon, we will destroy them in the future even more effectively and much more brutally than we did today!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
