Trump: I’m not worried about conflict with Iran, but they will ‘pay a price’ if they do something ‘foolish’
By: Diana Stancy Correll   
 

Although President Donald Trump is “not at all” worried about a possible confrontation with Iran, he cautioned Iran would suffer if it did something “foolish.”

"We have the greatest people in the world, we have the greatest equipment in the world. We have the greatest ships — the most deadly ships, we don’t want to have to use them, but they’re the most deadly ships ever conceived,” Trump told reporters Friday when asked if he was anxious about conflict with Iran, according to the White House press pool report. “And we hope for their sake they don’t do anything foolish. If they do, they will pay a price like nobody’s ever paid a price.”

The comments come after the Trump administration claimed that the Navy’s amphibious assault ship Boxer took defensive action against a drone in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, after the drone got within 1,000 yards of the ship and ignored requests to back off.
