Pentagon Operation in Iran: Over 8,000 Targets Hit, Naval Forces Crippled

Since the start of the Middle East conflict, the Pentagon's operation in Iran has struck over 8,000 targets. According to US Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper, the campaign has weakened Iran's combat capabilities and crippled its naval forces.

Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), provided an update on Operation Epic Fury early Saturday. According to Cooper's update posted on X, Iranian missile sites and attack drones have been successfully targeted. Cooper reported that Iran's navy is not sailing, tactical fighters are not flying, and the ability to launch missiles and drones has decreased. The few remaining Iranian speedboats are being pursued by the United States Air Force A-10s and Apache attack helicopters. According to Redstate, Iran's navy has been largely converted into artificial reefs.
