Donald Trump raised eyebrows for the best way by which he boasted about U.S. forces wiping out Iranian ships.
“I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important. We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also!”
Critics shortly seized on the phrasing, noting how sunken vessels usually don’t float.
The boast got here because the U.S. navy continued to escalate its main fight operations within the nation, which started on Saturday.
Three U.S. troops have been killed and 5 others severely wounded within the operation. Trump has acknowledged that there may very well be additional casualties within the battle, which he has recommended could last as long as a month.
