President Donald Trump on Sunday announced that the United States military has destroyed and sunk nine Iranian naval vessels, calling it a major setback for Iran’s naval forces.
In a post shared on his official page, Trump said some of the ships were “relatively large and important.” He further declared that U.S. forces are now going after the remaining Iranian naval assets, signaling that military operations are still ongoing.
The statement comes amid rapidly escalating tensions between the United States and Iran following recent coordinated strikes on Iranian military infrastructure. According to Trump, key naval facilities have also been heavily damaged.
Iran has reportedly responded with missile and drone activity targeting U.S. interests in the region, heightening fears of a broader conflict across the Middle East.
While full operational details have yet to be independently confirmed, Trump’s latest Sunday post suggests the confrontation is far from over, with additional strikes potentially underway.
Global leaders are closely watching developments as concerns grow over regional stability and possible impacts on international security.
