Pentagon Confirms Iran Retains Naval Fleet Despite Trump Claims
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
The U.S. Department of Defense has confirmed that Iran still possesses a portion of its naval fleet, countering former President Donald Trump’s assertions that the country had lost all naval assets.
The Pentagon’s statement, issued in Washington, clarified that Iranian naval vessels remain operational and that the U.S. has no evidence of a complete loss of Iran’s maritime forces. The defense department’s remarks came after Trump publicly suggested that Iran’s navy had been dismantled.
No additional details were provided regarding the number or type of vessels, and the Pentagon did not comment on any ongoing U.S. military actions against Iran.
