President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the US destroyed 28 small Iranian boats last night and suggested there would be further strikes tonight. Trump stated, 'They deserve it,' and accused Iran of violating an agreed pause for a funeral by attacking three ships, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
President Donald Trump, speaking at 16:32 Jerusalem, provided a new detail in a day of escalating US-Iran rhetoric: he accused Iran of violating an agreed pause for a funeral by attacking three ships, after earlier confirming that the US destroyed 28 Iranian boats and hinting that further strikes are likely tonight. The remark adds a specific allegation of Iranian bad faith to the sequence of threats and confirmations that have unfolded since this morning.
The day’s reporting began at 06:02 Jerusalem with multiple versions from Israeli outlets: Trump said the US may strike Iran again tonight (versions 10–12), described Iranian behavior as “completely bad” (version 11), and said the US hit Iran hard overnight (version 9). CENTCOM then confirmed that over 80 targets were struck, including 60 IRGC patrol boats, and that ports in Bandar Abbas and Geruk were hit (versions 5–8). A map compiled from reports listed confirmed impacts in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Sirik, and Kharg Island (version 3). Later, at 16:28, Trump stated the US destroyed 28 boats yesterday, and at 16:32 he added the funeral-pause allegation. The thread moved from initial reports by N12, Israel Hayom, and i24 to official CENTCOM confirmations, providing a progressively clearer picture of the strike’s scale.
These strikes are part of a broader US campaign against Iran, as The Zioneer has reported since June, including multiple waves targeting missile depots, radar sites, and IRGC assets in response to Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The US has warned that Iran will not continue to exist if ceasefire breaches persist.
The specific location and nature of the funeral pause, the details of the three ships Iran allegedly attacked, and whether the threatened strikes tonight will occur remain unverified. The Israeli military has not commented.
