President Trump declared via social media that American forces have eliminated nine Iranian warships and are targeting the remainder of Iran's naval fleet. The Pentagon has escalated military operations against Iran using B-2 stealth bombers to strike underground missile facilities, while Iran retaliates with drone and missile attacks.
President Donald Trump declared on Sunday through social media that American military forces are systematically destroying Iran’s naval fleet, claiming nine Iranian vessels have been eliminated with operations continuing against remaining ships.
The president’s statement came as Pentagon operations escalated against Iranian military targets, with B-2 stealth aircraft launching from United States bases to attack fortified underground missile installations using 2,000-pound ordnance.
According to Trump’s announcement, American strikes have also devastated Iran’s naval command center, causing extensive damage to the facility.
Iranian forces are responding with extensive missile and drone counterattacks, according to military officials. U.S. Central Command confirmed the first combat fatalities on Sunday, with three American service members killed and five others sustaining serious injuries during the ongoing conflict.
The president, who has stated his intention to completely eliminate Iran’s naval capabilities, predicted the destruction of all remaining Iranian warships.
“They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea,” Trump stated.
“Other than that, their Navy is doing very well!” he added.
