Operations are still underway over and around Iran on Sunday, and the United States and Israel are well on their way to not only owning the skies over Iran, but the waters around it. On that morning, President Trump took to his Truth Social account to inform us that at least nine Iranian navy craft have now found new berths at the bottom of the ocean.

The president wrote:
I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important. We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also! In a different attack, we largely destroyed their Naval Headquarters. Other than that, their Navy is doing very well! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
That’s some Trump-level irony; “Other than that, their Navy is doing very well!”
Central Command also took to X to describe one of the Iranian ships that is now a new fish habitat:
An Iranian Jamaran-class corvette was struck by U.S. forces during the start of Operation Epic Fury. The ship is currently sinking to the bottom of the Gulf of Oman at a Chah Bahar pier.

The post concludes:
As the President said, members of Iran’s armed forces, IRGC and police “must lay down your weapons.” Abandon ship.
One is tempted to advise Iranian sailors, when boarding, “Abandon ship, all ye who enter here.”
While the identity of the other ships isn’t yet known, the Jamaran-class corvettes are domestically built ships. The first ship of the class entered service in 2010, making them pretty recent as Iranian hardware goes. They are reported to displace about 1,500 metric tonnes (more or less 1650 American tons), are 311 feet bow to stern, with a beam of 36 feet. Not big ships but not slow, with a top speed of 30 knots; obviously not a fast enough ship to go in harm’s way when facing American and Israeli missile attacks. The ship carries a 76mm naval gun, eight anti-ship missiles, four surface-to-air missiles, and two triple torpedo mounts, all of which, in the case of this ship, are now sunk alongside the pier.
I’m not a Navy guy, but I have to imagine that having your ship sunk alongside the pier has to be pretty embarrassing. At least the sailors had a chance to make it ashore while their ship slipped under the waves.
We reported earlier that the Iranian regime has assembled a new leadership council and is emitting a lot of hot gas about retaliating against America and Israel; all the while, as we see here, the USA and Israel are methodically continuing with the destruction of anything the regime can fight back with. All the while, the Iranian people are literally dancing in the streets.

There is an ongoing rumor that the new Iranian navy will be putting glass bottoms in their ships, so it can see the old Iranian navy.
