Trump says Iran launched 101 missiles at US aircraft carrier

President Donald Trump said Iran carried out an attack on a US aircraft carrier several days ago, launching 101 missiles from 17 different directions.

Speaking at an investment forum in Miami, Trump stated the US had faced an attack several days earlier in which 101 missiles were launched at one of its aircraft carriers, describing it as a very valuable asset and the biggest in the world.

“They hit us and they came from 17 different angles. They were here, they were there. We ran for our lives,” he added.

The US leader did not specify which vessel was targeted or provide the exact date of the reported attack.
