During the entire US Epic Fury operation, more than 30 Iranian ships have been destroyed, and several hours ago American forces struck the enemy’s aircraft carrier — a drone carrier, states the commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), Admiral Brad Cooper.
“You may have heard the president say just a little while ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships. That was true at the moment. We're now up over 30 ships,” the CENTCOM commander said.
According to him, the US carried out strikes on Iran’s drone aircraft carrier several hours ago.
“As we speak, it's on fire,” Cooper noted.
The admiral also reported that over the past three days, the US military has struck nearly two hundred targets deep inside Iran from the air, including around Tehran.
Brad Cooper also said that in just the past hour, American B-2 bombers dropped dozens of heavy bombs aimed at launchers for Iranian ballistic missiles located underground.
Regarding Iran’s retaliatory attacks, the CENTCOM commander noted that their missile strikes have decreased by 90% since the first day of the conflict, while the number of drone attacks has dropped by 83%.
On March 4, the head of US Central Command, Brad Cooper, spoke about how American forces are sinking the Iranian fleet.
Earlier, it was reported what goals the US is pursuing in the war with Iran — the White House explained them in detail.
Israel is also fighting against the Iranian regime. Tel Aviv announced a second phase of confrontation with the Islamic state, which will be aimed at underground storage sites where ballistic missiles are kept.
