U.S. President Donald Trump announced that American forces have destroyed nine Iranian naval ships, describing some as “large and important.” He added that remaining vessels would also be targeted in ongoing operations.

Trump also revealed that a separate strike largely destroyed Iran’s naval headquarters, though he claimed the Iranian Navy “is doing very well.” His statement reflects the escalating military campaign against Iran.

The attacks come amid the joint U.S.-Israel military operations, following heightened regional tensions after Iran retaliated for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. U.S. forces continue offensive operations targeting key Iranian military infrastructure.

Trump’s update underscores the ongoing intensity of the conflict, with further strikes likely as U.S. and Israeli forces aim to neutralize Iran’s strategic capabilities. Casualties and damage assessments are still emerging from both sides.
