I actually got a chuckle out of this.
Let me see . . I'm pretty sure Trump and Hegseth already have seen to it that our ships have sufficient anti-missile and anti-drone defenses to render this 'iranian leaders' threats impotent.

And let us not forget that our brave boys have recently had quite a bit of practice in dealing with iranian missiles while dealing with houthi terrorists.

Not to mention that the stinking iranians REALLY ought to contemplate what might just happen if they do manage to hit one of our warships. I believe the correct response would be for Trump to send over a large flock of B-1 bombers loaded with LOTs and LOTs of smart bombs and some naval mines (for iranian harbors).

Prominent adviser to Iran’s supreme leader says it “must launch missile strikes” on US Navy ships

by CNN’s Todd Symons

A prominent adviser to Iran’s supreme leader has called for missile strikes on US Navy ships and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping route.

“Following America’s attack on the Fordow nuclear installation, it is now our turn,” warned Hossein Shariatmadari, the editor-in-chief of the hardline Kayhan newspaper, a well-known conservative voice who has previously identified himself as Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “representative.”

A Telegram message from Kayhan quoted Shariatmadari as saying: “Without hesitation or delay, as a first step we must launch missile strikes on the American naval fleet based in Bahrain and simultaneously close the Strait of Hormuz to American, British, German, and French shipping.”

The message ended with a quote from the Quran, which read: “Kill them wherever you shall overtake (find) them.”

There has been no official response yet from Supreme Leader Khamenei to the US attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
