Farsi-language media channels are heavily circulating a Truth Social post by Donald Trump, in which he announces the destruction of 10 inactive minelaying ships.
Multiple Farsi-language Telegram channels are rapidly circulating a recent statement by Donald Trump regarding military action against naval targets. The posts, which heavily feature US and Iranian flag emojis, frame the announcement within the context of direct military engagement between the two nations.
According to the prominent Iranian citizen-journalism and opposition aggregator Vahid Online, Trump announced on Truth Social: "I am pleased to report that over the past few hours, we have hit and completely destroyed 10 inactive minelaying boats and/or ships, with more on the way!"
The statement is being echoed across Iranian channels dedicated to breaking news and war coverage. اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, a channel focused on urgent updates regarding US-Iran military tensions, reported the exact same claim, quoting Trump as saying US forces are actively tracking a greater number of these vessels.
Similarly, another breaking war news channel, خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, amplified Trump's remarks to its followers, highlighting the complete destruction of the inactive minelaying targets. Across all sources, the framing is consistent, directly translating the US President's claims of successful naval strikes without commentary or independent verification.
The source channels all convey the same translated quote from Donald Trump's Truth Social account. The explicit use of US and Iranian flag emojis by the war-focused aggregator channels strongly contextualizes the targeted 'minelaying boats' as Iranian, though Trump's quoted text does not explicitly name Iran.
