The U.S. military claims to have attacked tens of thousands of Iranian military targets.
On March 25, Xinhua News Agency reported from Washington that General Cooper, the commander of the U.S. Central Command, released a video statement on social media, stating that the U.S. military has attacked over 10,000 Iranian military targets to date.
Cooper stated that the U.S. military has destroyed 92% of Iran's large naval vessels, and the frequency of Iranian drone and missile launches has decreased by more than 90%. The U.S. military has also damaged or destroyed more than two-thirds of Iran's missile, drone, and naval production facilities and shipyards.
Although Cooper claimed in his speech that the U.S. military has gained air superiority over Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced earlier on the same day on social media that it has launched the 81st wave of the "Real Commitment-4" operation, using missiles such as "Imad," "Qiam," and "Khoramshahr-4" to strike over 70 targets, including Haifa, Dimona, and Tel Aviv in Israel.
On the same day, the U.S. Central Command released a statement on social media denying that a U.S. F-18 fighter jet had been shot down by the Iranian air defense system.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation against Iran, to which Iran retaliated by targeting Israel and U.S. military bases in the Middle East.
