Trump Claims Iran Lost Entire Navy and Air Force in Conflict
Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2425 - Let Trump COOK
What was said
"Iran had 159 ships in their Navy. Every single ship is now resting at the bottom of the sea. They have no Navy, their Air Force is gone, all technology is gone, their leaders are no longer with us, and the country is an economic disaster."
President Trump claimed total military devastation of Iran, stating all 159 Iranian naval vessels have been sunk and Iran's Air Force completely destroyed. This assertion was made to counter media narratives suggesting Iran is performing well militarily. The claim represents Trump's attempt to demonstrate overwhelming American military superiority during the ongoing conflict.
