Donald Trump Boasts Sinking 46 Iranian Ships, Says “Sinking Is More Fun…’

President Donald Trump has claimed the US had hit 5,000 targets in Iran since the war in the Middle East began last month and that the country’s missile capability was down to 10%. Speaking during the Republican Members Issues Conference in Florida on Monday, he claimed that the US military sank 46 “top-of-the-line” Iranian naval ships over three and a half days. Trump also recounted a conversation with a US military official and said he had asked why the ships were sunk and not captured. “Iran’s drone and missile capability is being utterly demolished. The Navy is gone. It’s all lying at the bottom of the ocean. 46 ships, can you believe it? In fact I got a little upset with our people. When I said, ‘What quality of ship?’. They said, ‘Excellent, Sir. ‘Top-of-the-line’. I said, ‘Why didn’t we just capture the ships?’ We could use it. Why did we sink them?’,” Trump said.
