Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday on his social media account X that the U.S. military had launched three extrajudicial attacks on four vessels sailing in the Pacific on Monday. Fourteen people were killed in the operation, and there was one survivor. Hegseth claimed, without providing evidence, that the vessels were transporting drugs and that their crew members, killed in the operation, belonged to designated terrorist organizations. He did not specify which organizations.

American military forces carried out three airstrikes Monday that destroyed four vessels in the eastern Pacific alleged to be transporting drugs bound for the U.S., Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced. The strikes, which killed 14 and left one survivor, are the latest in a dramatic ramp-up of lethal American attacks on drug trafficking vessels in the waters of the western hemisphere.

President Donald Trump disclosed Tuesday that the U.S. government had "knocked off" what he said was a total of three alleged drug smuggling boats, all apparently from Venezuela, a country whose leader his administration has villainized while dramatically escalating the use of deadly force in a bid to disrupt the Latin American narcotics trade. The president, speaking to reporters outside the White House, offered no other details about the previously undisclosed incident.

Grossi noted that the centrifuges are no longer operational due to significant physical damage caused by the U.S. attack, supporting Trump's claim of success.

At the end of the day there are some really important things that haven't been hit.
