Donald Trump claims Iran attacked USS Gerald R Ford from 17 angles, but Pentagon dismisses his account, citing no evidence amid the West Asia crisis.

Amid the ongoing West Asia crisis, US President Donald Trump said that Iran launched an attack on the USS Gerald R Ford, a claim that was later dismissed by the Pentagon.

Trump had earlier alleged that the aircraft carrier was targeted in a coordinated attack by Iran, describing it as a serious military episode. He claimed that missiles were launched from multiple directions at the vessel, raising concerns about Tehran’s capabilities, according to a report by National Herald.

“Iran hit the world’s largest aircraft carrier from 17 angles. We had to run to save our lives—it was all over," he said.

However, officials at the Pentagon have dismissed the assertion, saying there is no evidence of any attack on the carrier. The response aims to counter the claim and prevent confusion over the situation.
