US President Donald Trump sparked outrage with his comments on the Iranian Navy, saying it's 'more fun' to sink their ships. He claimed 46 ships were sunk, and US officials said it's safer to sink them.

The comments come amid heightened tensions in the region, following joint military strikes by the US and Israel on Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Tehran launched counter-strikes targeting American military bases and Israeli assets, and Trump said they were planning a major attack on Israel and the Middle East.

The Iranian Navy has denied planning any attack, and talks were underway with the US when the American attack took place.
