The U.S. Army has sunk more than 30 Iranian ships during its massive attacks against the Persian country, affirmed this Thursday Brad Cooper, commander of the U.S. Central Command (Centcom).
"Attacks against the Iranian Navy have intensified. You may have heard the president [of the U.S., Donald Trump] say a moment ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships. That was true at the time. Now it's more than 30 ships," he declared.

Trump's Ultimatum
Previously, the US president issued an ultimatum to the Iranian military, stating that they only have two options in their conflict with Washington and Tel Aviv: lay down their arms or die. "Once again, I ask all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the Army and the Police, to lay down their arms," Trump said. "They will have the opportunity, after all these years, to recover their country. Accept immunity. We will give you immunity," he assured. "So you will be perfectly safe, with total immunity, or you will face an absolutely guaranteed death, and I don't want to see that," Trump stated.Aggression against Iran
