Trump posted on Truth Social claiming that Iran launched an attack against three U.S. destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, but the assault ultimately failed.
Trump stated that despite being under fire, U.S. naval vessels smoothly sailed through the strait. Trump claimed the U.S. destroyers emerged unscathed, while Iran suffered significant losses.
Trump wrote:
"They fired missiles at our destroyers—every single one was easily intercepted and shot down; they also deployed drones, which were entirely destroyed in the air. The wreckage plummeting into the sea was particularly conspicuous, like butterflies falling into their own graves!"
In the post, Trump again criticized Iran's leadership, urging Tehran to quickly sign an agreement, while warning that if it refuses cooperation, the U.S. will take even tougher actions.
On May 7, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) released a statement on the social media platform X: After U.S. warships attempted to attack an Iranian oil tanker, Iran promptly struck U.S. naval vessels within the Strait of Hormuz.
