Trump Vows ‘Death, Fire & Fury’: US Claims Crushing Iran Navy in Hormuz Amid Epic Fury Operation

Washington DC, March 12 (TNA) US President Donald Trump has claimed that American naval forces have dealt a crushing blow to Iran’s fleet in the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing West Asia conflict, detailing “Operation Epic Fury”, where 10 Iranian mine-laying vessels were destroyed with more strikes underway.

In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump warned that any Iranian attempt to choke oil flows through the strait-handling 20% of global crude, would trigger a response “20 times harder,” unleashing “death, fire, and fury” to obliterate bases and leave the nation beyond repair, while stressing impacts on oil-dependent nations like China and signalling tanker protection deployments.

Three weeks into the war with US-Israel hammering Iranian sites, Trump described the navy as nearly wiped out, though the strait stays tense; Iran hit back by releasing IRGC videos of hidden tunnels packed with speedboats, missiles, and mines, vowing to push oil prices to $200 per barrel.

The crisis has sparked LPG shortages crippling Indian hotels from Bengaluru to Mumbai, stoking inflation fears as Trump’s team doubles down on aggressive tactics to force an end, with Tehran unyielding.
