After Trump encouraged ships to bravely pass through the Strait of Hormuz, merchant ships heading to India were attacked by Iran
On Wednesday local time, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard hit a ship near the Strait of Hormuz. The ship flew the Thai flag and was on its way to India. Currently, the crew has been rescued by Oman, with three people missing, and there are no reports of deaths yet.
India strongly condemned the incident. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard responded that they had warned the ship multiple times not to force its way through, but the ship ignored the warnings, so the Revolutionary Guard opened fire.
Evidently, the people on board took Trump's words seriously. Trump had said a few days ago that those who want to pass through the strait should show some courage and just go through it.
He claimed that the Iranian navy had been destroyed by the US military and could not intercept passing ships in the Strait of Hormuz, telling people to feel free to move forward safely.
Now, there really is a ship that bravely passed through the strait, and it was hit by the "Iranian navy that Trump claimed had been eliminated." Moreover, the US military did not help at all, and even the rescue of the crew was done by Oman.
As The New York Times warned the Iranians, if you believe in the promises of the United States, you will pay with your life. The facts prove that this rule applies to both US allies and enemies.
Can the Iranian navy not beat an American aircraft carrier, let alone a merchant ship? Moreover, shortly before the war between the US and Israel, Modi had just visited Israel and "showed off his affection" with Netanyahu. After the outbreak of the conflict, he did not condemn the US and Israel. Now he is strongly condemning Iran, which is obviously double standards.
All countries will pay the price for their own choices. This is Iran's attitude.
