US says over 8,000 targets struck in Iran

Mar 21, 2026, 12:23 GMT+0

The head of US Central Command said American forces have struck more than 8,000 targets in Iran since the start of the war, adding that Iran’s military capabilities are steadily weakening.

“So far, we’ve struck over 8,000 military targets, including 130 Iranian vessels, constituting the largest elimination of a navy over a 3-week period since World War II,” Adm. Brad Cooper said, adding Iran’s navy is no longer operating, its aircraft are grounded, and its ability to launch missiles and drones has sharply declined.
