9 Iranian naval ships have been destroyed and sunk, Trump says

By Beth Sullivan and J.D. Simkins

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Sunday that nine Iranian naval ships have been sunk as part of combat operations against Iran.

“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 X, adding that Iran’s naval headquarters has been “largely destroyed” in a different attack.

“We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also!” Trump wrote.

U.S. Central Command officials said earlier Sunday that an Iranian Jamaran-class corvette was struck by U.S. forces at the beginning of Operation Epic Fury.

“The ship is currently sinking to the bottom of the Gulf of Oman at a Chah Bahar pier,” the statement reads. “As the president said, members of Iran’s armed forces, IRGC and police ‘must lay down your weapons.’ Abandon ship.”

The IRIS frigate Jamaran was commissioned in 2010 and is considered one of Iran’s more capable warships.  Was, anyway. Sunk at pier-side.

Not sure they “float” at the bottom of the sea. Not sure if they were “important” either. We are talking about 60+ year old obsolete vessels that were little more than floating targets for air power. Still, danger to local shipping was the threat. Very soon Iran will no longer be a significant threat to peace and stability to the region (and the world) for the first time since 1979.

Symbolically sinking the navy has to sting a little. Soon every tool they have will be on fire or broken.

So far Kuwait has accounted for more air craft shoot downs than the entire country of Iran. They dropped 3 US F15E Strike Eagles getting ready to land at Ali Salam AB. All crews recovered safely but it would be nice to have those planes back.

Any ship they have,regardless of how old poses a threat. Nothing to keep them from loading the boat to the gills with explosives and sending on a suicide/ martyr mission to inflict as much damage on us as possible. If we learned anything from Iraq and Afghanistan, it should be don’t trust the fuckers and deny them any opportunity to have or make weapons.

Seems like the would make great artificial reefs no matter how the got there. Don’t really care, but hopefully they had some crew aboard.

I don’t care where the Iranian navy floats, as long as it isn’t at the surface.
