US President Donald Trump confirmed, in an interview with Fox News, that Iran would be "wiped off the face of the Earth" if it attacked American ships carrying out what he described as the "Freedom Project." He added that the United States currently possesses "more weapons and ammunition at a much higher level" than it did previously. “Either the Iranians conclude an agreement in good faith, or we resume combat operations,” he said. He concluded by saying that Iran "has become more flexible" in peace negotiations.
