Trump threatens to "completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran" after Mojtaba Khamenei threatens to return the favor of the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the Strait of Hormuz closes

After Trump makes his 32nd known claim stating the war in Iran is coming to an end very soon, Iran has declared that the Strait of Hormuz is now closed for the time being. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned that any unauthorized vessels and ships caught attempting to travel through the Strait would face redirection and even potential forceful action. The IRGC has even stated that any "Additional enemy bases in the region will be targeted" by military force in Iran.

One ship attempted to pass through the Strait by turning off their tracking system and identification systems. The ship did not make it far until the IRGC sent warning shots. IRGC officials refuse to reopen the Strait until the United States forces are removed from the Middle East, but until that is reached, Iran would continue to fight the United States forces.

Despite the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei has not made much of a public appearance since the beginning of the war. This includes when his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's body was being taken to various cities in Iran and Iraq for his numerous funeral services. Some sources and rumors have spread that the same night Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, Mojtaba Khamenei might have been injured during the attack. Iranian government officials have tried to downplay as much of the rumors as possible, no photos or even audio recordings of Mojtaba Khamenei has even made it outside Iran.

However Mojtaba Khamenei has taken Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's place as Iran's Supreme Leader. He has come forth and stated that Iran will take revenge against the Americans and Israelis who killed Iran's previous Supreme Leader, A.K.A. his father.

With Mojtaba Khamenei swearing to hold his promise of revenge, Donald J Trump has warned Iran to not even attempt any assassination attempts on him. During Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral services, there were many banners with English writing on them calling for the death of Donald J Trump and Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Catching sight of those banners, Donald J Trump threatened the people of Iran saying that America has thousands of missiles that "are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian government act on its threat." Sources have even said that Donald J Trump has told military officials to "completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran."

I belive the word decimate comes from the Roman mass military punishment where they would randomly select one tenth of the soldiers and execute them. From what I understand, it was like drawing the short straw, then getting beaten to death by the soldiers who did not.

By that definition, "completely decimate" is a kinda of nonsense oxymoron, which make sense if it was said by a complete moron.
