President Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon said that the U.S. military has sunk nine Iranian naval ships and “largely destroyed” the regime’s naval headquarters amid airstrikes that took out its leadership.
“I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “We are going after the rest—they will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also! In a different attack, we largely destroyed their Naval Headquarters.”
