US President Donald Trump claimed that American forces have sunk nine Iranian navy ships in a recent attack. In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump stated that several of the destroyed vessels were large and significant. He added that US forces are pursuing the remaining ships, which he said would soon be sunk as well. Trump also claimed that a separate strike had nearly destroyed Iran’s naval headquarters.

The post did not provide details on the timing, location, or verification of the alleged attacks. The statement appeared amid a series of regional incidents, including reports of missile strikes in Bahrain and Kuwait. No official confirmation or response from Iranian authorities was mentioned in the source.

The claims, if verified, would mark a major escalation in tensions between the United States and Iran, though the source did not indicate any immediate follow-up or international reaction.
