Trump obliterates Iran’s navy by sinking ELEVEN boats including the ‘mothership’ as Tehran’s brazen lies are exposed
Trump’s Operation Epic Fury Targets Iran’s Navy, Exposing Tehran’s False Claims
US forces targeted Iran’s largest naval vessel during the operation, which was launched under President Trump’s directive. The strike followed the Iranian regime’s bold assertion that it had sunk a US aircraft carrier in the Gulf—a claim now being scrutinized for its accuracy.
According to US Central Command, the Iranian leadership’s narrative is riddled with inaccuracies. The agency stated,
“The Iranian regime’s false messaging machine continues to falsely claim that it has sunk a US aircraft carrier. The only carrier that has been hit is the Shahid Bagheri, an Iranian drone carrier.”
This assertion comes as the US military reportedly destroyed 11 Iranian naval vessels in the Gulf of Oman since the conflict began.
The IRIS Shahid Bagheri, originally a commercial ship, was converted into a critical drone launch platform in 2022. Now serving as a hub for Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles and helicopters, it was equipped with a 180-meter flight deck, allowing it to carry medium-range air defense systems.
Earlier this week, Trump warned of escalating violence, stating in an exclusive interview,
“It’s always been a four-week process. We figured it will be four weeks or so. It’s always been about a four-week process so—as strong as it is, it’s a big country, it’ll take four weeks—or less.”
The operation began with a massive 100-aircraft “wave” launched from land and sea, marking a significant escalation.
Meanwhile, a friendly fire incident in Kuwait saw three F-15 fighter jets shot down. Footage captured the planes descending in a cloud of smoke, with at least two pilots ejecting near a US military base. Kuwait’s Defence Ministry confirmed that crews remained unharmed in the incident.
Iran retaliated with missile strikes against neighboring nations, some of which breached air defense systems. Evidence from Dubai highlighted the reach of these attacks. The US Central Command acknowledged the strikes but noted that only four service members were killed and 18 injured, contradicting Tehran’s assertions of larger casualties.
As the conflict intensifies, the Trump administration has not yet provided a clear timeline for its conclusion. The recent strikes on Iran’s naval assets underscore the strategic impact of the operation, which has already disrupted the country’s maritime capabilities.
