CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said the U.S. has struck more than 5,500 targets inside Iran, including more than 60 ships, using a “variety of precision weapons.”
“U.S. combat power is building. Iranian combat power is declining,” Cooper said in a video update today. “And we remain centered on very clear military objectives in eliminating Iran’s ability to project power against Americans and against its neighbors.”
Cooper said yesterday there were “strike ways nearly every hour from different locations and directions going into Iran.” Four ships were “taken out,” he said.
“Since the first 24 hours of this campaign, Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks have dropped drastically,” he said, adding that Iran’s forces were launching attacks on civilians in Gulf countries from “highly populated” Iranian cities.
