Donald Trump: American forces have “knocked out” 42 Iranian navy ships in three days

Описание: US President Donald Trump said American forces have “knocked out” 42 Iranian navy ships in three days.

“We've knocked out 42 navy ships, some of them very large in three days. That was the end of the navy. We knocked out their air force. We knocked out their communications, and all telecommunications is gone,” he told Latin American leaders gathered in Doral, Florida on Saturday.

“They (Iran) would have had a nuclear weapon and, you know, crazy. And they would have used it. So we did the world of favor.”

It comes as Iran's president apologized on Saturday for attacks on “neighboring countries” even as its missiles and drones flew toward Gulf Arab states and Trump threatened that the country would be “hit very hard.”

President Masoud Pezeshkian, a member of the three-man leadership council overseeing Iran since Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a Feb. 28 airstrike that started the war, delivered the message a week into the conflict that has rattled global markets and left Iran’s own leadership weakened by hundreds of Israeli and American airstrikes.

Pezeshkian also dismissed Trump’s call for Iran to surrender unconditionally.

Separately, Trump announced a new military coalition to “eradicate the criminal cartels plaguing our region”, saying 17 Latin American nations have joined the alliance.

“The heart of our agreement is a commitment to using lethal military force to destroy the sinister cartels and terrorist networks. Once and for all. We'll get rid of them.”
