President Trump boasted Sunday that the US has successfully taken down nine Iranian naval ships and “largely destroyed” Tehran’s naval headquarters as well.
“I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also!”
