US Navy in danger? IRGC vows 'painful blows' to Trump's warships as US weighs resuming Iran war

Tensions are surging as Iran’s IRGC warns of “painful blows” against U.S. warships if Washington launches fresh strikes. The warning comes as reports emerge of a mysterious fire aboard the USS Higgins, adding to a string of recent incidents involving U.S. naval vessels. With CENTCOM reviewing strike options and even potential moves in the Strait of Hormuz, fears of a wider conflict are growing. Iran has signaled readiness for retaliation, while questions mount over U.S. naval preparedness amid sustained operations, raising concerns about escalation into a full-scale Iran war scenario.
