Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that American forces have destroyed and sunk nine Iranian naval ships in a recent military operation, describing some of the vessels as “quite large and significant.”
“They just informed me that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian naval ships — some of them quite large and significant. In another attack, we also partially destroyed their naval headquarters,” Trump said.
According to the statement, the operation also targeted Iranian naval infrastructure, resulting in partial damage to a naval headquarters facility. Further details regarding the timing, location, and official confirmation from the U.S. Department of Defense or Iranian authorities were not immediately available.
There has been no independent verification of the claims, and Iranian officials have not publicly responded at this time.
If confirmed, such actions would mark a significant escalation in tensions between the United States and Iran, raising concerns about regional stability and international security.
