Iran live updates: US shoots down 2 Iranian drones attempting to strike ships in Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump posted to social media on Wednesday saying that Iran has "taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!"

"Iran's Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn't even exist anymore -- They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!" Trump wrote.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei told reporters Wednesday that Tehran will need to reassess negotiations with the U.S. following the latest exchange of strikes.

"What happened last night demonstrated that Iran's brave armed forces do not hesitate when it comes to defending the country," Baghaei said, as quoted by the IRIB state television channel.

"Unfortunately, the United States is undermining this process through contradictory messages, frequent shifts in its positions and demands, and repeated violations of the ceasefire," he added.

Iranian state television said Wednesday that U.S. missiles hit water tanks in Sirik, a county located in the Hormozgan Province on the coastline of the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. has not commented on the report, which ABC News could not immediately verify.

According to a local water company, the two tanks affected -- one with 500 cubic meter capacity and the other 2,000 cubic meter -- are vital water distribution infrastructure for the area.
