Trump Alleges Drone Strike On Cargo Ship
According to Trump, Iran fired four one-way attack drones at commercial vessels transiting the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz. One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship. Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way,” he wrote.

Trump further claimed that US forces intercepted and destroyed the remaining three drones before they could strike.
“We knocked down three other Drones,” he said.
