I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.

U.S. Central Command:Today in international waters, Iranian forces, including two ships and an Iranian "Sea King" helicopter, overtook and boarded a ship called the 'Wila.'

US intelligence officials said “Bounties” were paid by Iran to the Haqqani Network, a terrorist group led by high-ranking Taliban officials. The Iranian payments to the Haqqani may have been instrumental in a deadly Taliban rocket attack at Bagram Air Base on December 11, that killed two civilians and injured more than 70 others, including four US personnel.

Intelligence officials further said the bounty reports formed part of the reasoning behind President Donald Trump’s order to carry out an airstrike against Iranian Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani in January.

The bounty allegations came about amid a delicate moment in U.S.-Taliban peace talks. Trump had previously declared Taliban peace talks dead, but less than two weeks before the December attack on Bagram Air Base, Trump did tell U.S. troops during a visit to Afghanistan that he planned to resume peace talks with the Taliban.
