The Pentagon has stated that Trump's threat was meant to underscore the Navy's right to self-defence.
The Bahrain-based US Naval Forces Central Command said in a statement that its notice was "designed to enhance safety, minimize ambiguity and reduce the risk of miscalculation".
It follows an incident last month in which 11 Iranian vessels came close to US Navy and Coast Guard ships in the Gulf, in what the US military called "dangerous and provocative" behaviour.
At one point, the Iranian vessels came within 10 yards (nine metres) of the US Coast Guard cutter Maui, the US military said.
