CENTCOM: 8,000+ Targets Struck, 130 Iranian Naval Vessels Destroyed in Largest Fleet Elimination Since WWII

Admiral Brad Cooper reported US forces have struck over 8,000 Iranian targets and destroyed 130 naval vessels across 22 days of combat operations, characterizing the naval destruction as 'the largest elimination of a navy over a three-week period since World War II.' CENTCOM conducted the longest field artillery strike in Army combat history and deployed GBU-72 5,000-pound penetrator munitions against underground missile silos along Iran's coast. Cooper also confirmed CENTCOM destroyed Iranian intelligence support systems and radars used to track commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
