US military wipes out entire class of Iranian warships
U.S. Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said Wednesday that American forces operating in the Middle East have taken out "the last of four Soleimani-class warships -- that's an entire class of Iranian ships now out of the fight."
"To date, we have struck more than 5,500 targets inside Iran, including more than 60 ships using a variety of precision weapons systems. Just yesterday, we had strike waves nearly every hours from different locations and directions going into Iran," Cooper said in a video posted to X.
"U.S. combat power is building, Iranian combat power is declining," Cooper said. "Every day we are striking hard at Iranian ballistic missiles and drones."
Cooper added that he continues to "be impressed with all the branches of the U.S. military."
"The entire team is performing superbly. Strike operations from our Joint Force continue as I've said. I assess that we are clearly exercising air superiority over vast swaths of Iran," Cooper said.
