US says it has struck more than 5,500 targets in Iran
The United States has struck more than 5,500 targets inside Iran since the start of its campaign, including more than 60 ships, the commander of US Central Command said on Wednesday.
Adm. Brad Cooper said strike waves were carried out nearly every hour from different directions.
“To date, we have struck more than 5,500 targets inside Iran, including more than 60 ships, using a variety of precision weapon systems,” Cooper said.
He said US forces had also destroyed the last of Iran’s Soleimani-class warships and recently struck a large ballistic missile manufacturing facility.
Cooper said Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks had “dropped drastically” since the first 24 hours of the campaign.
