New Delhi, Apr 14:  US President Donald Trump has claimed that 34 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, which is by far the highest number since the ”foolish closure” began.
He once again claimed that Iran has been ”totally obliterated,” militarily and otherwise, and launched a scathing attack on media for spreading ”fake news,” specially targeting the New York Times, that Iran is winning or doing well.
He asked for an apology from the New York Times.
”For those people that still read the Failing New York Times and, despite the fact that Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, militarily, and otherwise, you would think that Iran is actually winning or, at the very least, doing quite well — But that’s not true,” Trump said on his social media platform.
He said the New York Times knows that it’s FAKE NEWS! ”When does this corrupt media outlet apologise for their lies and horrible actions against me, my supporters, and our Country itself.”
Trump had claimed on Monday that Iran’s Navy is ”laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated,” citing the figure 158 ships.
”What we have not hit are their small number of, what they call ‘fast attack ships, because we did not consider them much of a threat.”
He warned that if any of these ships came anywhere close to the US blockade, they will be immediately eliminated, using the same system of kill that US uses against the drug dealers on boats at Sea.
