US President Donald Trump has called out Iran for attacking ships of 'unrelated nations' in the Strait of Hormuz, including a South Korean cargo ship, as part of escalating tensions around 'Project Freedom.'
In a post on social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that Iran has taken shots at 'unrelated Nations' with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM.
He claimed that US forces had intercepted and shot down seven small 'fast' boats allegedly used by Iran, adding that no significant damage had been reported in the waterway so far apart from the South Korean vessel.
Trump suggested that South Korea should consider joining the mission, saying 'Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission!'
The post comes at a time when an oil terminal in the United Arab Emirates city of Fujairah was hit in an aerial attack amid an up-tick of Iranian strikes on Monday in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz.
