flag U.S. President Trump claimed a three-day operation destroyed 42 Iranian naval vessels and disabled Iran’s air force and communications, but these assertions lack independent verification.

flag U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on March 7, 2026, that American forces had destroyed 42 Iranian navy ships, disabled Iran’s air force and communications systems, and prevented Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon in a three-day operation he called "Midnight Hammer." flag He referenced a prior covert mission, "Operation Absolute Resolve," that allegedly led to the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and said the U.S. had formally recognized Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, while announcing a new gold deal to facilitate mineral sales. flag Iran’s UN mission stated its attacks targeted only military sites and suggested some non-military strikes may have resulted from U.S. electronic defenses diverting projectiles. flag The claims are unverified, and no independent confirmation has been provided.
