President Donald Trump has confirmed that Iran launched a major attack on the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, targeting it from 17 different angles.
In a strong statement, Trump described the assault as very intense. He said Iranian forces fired a large number of missiles and drones in a coordinated swarm attack from multiple directions. The US crew had to move quickly to safety as the carrier came under heavy pressure. Trump remarked that the situation was extremely serious and the American side “had to run for our lives” during the intense moments.
The USS Gerald R. Ford is America’s newest and most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. It has been playing a key role in US operations in the Middle East during the ongoing conflict with Iran.
According to Trump, the attack was one of the most aggressive attempts by Iran so far. He used the incident to highlight the seriousness of the situation and the strength of Iranian capabilities in the region. However, US officials have not released full details about damage to the carrier or casualties.
The confirmation comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East. Iran has claimed several strikes on US assets, while the US continues its military operations.
The incident has raised fresh concerns about the safety of American naval forces and the risk of further escalation between the two countries.
