Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), claimed on March 21 that over 8,000 of Iran’s military targets, including 130 vessels, had been hit, marking “the largest elimination of a navy over a three-week period since World War II.”
“Just two days ago, the US Army launched the longest field artillery strike in Army combat history using precision strike missiles. The strike took out Iranian military infrastructure, demonstrating the US military’s unmatched reach and lethality,” the commander said in a video briefing.
Th commander went on to claim that Iran has suffered a major decline in its combat capabilities over the previous three weeks.
He said that CENTCOM was able to demolish the Islamic Republic’s intelligence support sites and missile radar relays that were responsible for following ship movements, along with the facility, describing these capabilities as a “dangerous risk” to shipping.
The briefing included footage showing strikes hitting at least eight Iranian vessels, the vast majority of which were missile boats.
Just two days earlier, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it carried out a series of strikes at the Iranian port city of Bandar Anzal and in the Caspian Sea, destroying a corvette, four missile boats, and several auxiliary ships and guard boats.
The Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy took heavy losses during the ongoing American-Israeli war on the Islamic Republic. However, their anti-shipping capabilities are still very much in place thanks to a wide array of systems that can be launched from ashore, including cruise and ballistic missiles, suicide drones, unmanned boats, and even unmanned underwater vessels.
The strategic Strait of Hormuz remains under tight Iranian control, and this will not likely change even if CENTCOM and the IDF destroyed all Iranian vessels.

well, they’ve hit 8,000 ‘targets’, but how much oil for the west has passed through the strait?
iran is being destroyed…their “great allies” russia and china are powerless to stop it…heheheh
there will be a steady supply of military, technical and economic aid to iran as the war goes on. russia and china will not pass up on a golden opportunity for payback for the years of s8it fu**ery they have experienced from the amerikunts and their joo masters for years.
there will be a steady supply of circumcised long sausage into your daughter…heheheh

even iranian navy’s cheap banana boats can’t lay a single naval mine. every time one of those boats ventures out and try to lay a mine an a-10 thunderbolt ll tank killer strafes them and sinks them not even a mile away from the iranian coast. hehehe
they haven’t bothered laying any mines. there is no need. lloyds of london obligingly closed down hormuz for them. in the past they laid 1908 vintage mines produced in tsarist russia in the area. the amerikunts were totally unable to deal with them and a lot of amerikunt warships ended up with big holes in them. iran could saturate the area with 6,000 mines including chinese em52 rocket mines any time it wanted. but why bother?
just sit on the cliffs overlooking the straits and pick off any trespassing amerikunts or tankers like ducks in a shooting gallery. sink one of those suckers and win a coconut! but unfortunately even the amerikunts aren’t stupid enough to try it. incidentally any a10 they are stupid enough to fly anywhere near iranian airspace will suffer the same fate as the junkers 87s during the battle of britain. not recommended except for afghan goat herders.
all the iranian air defence has been totally destroyed. but they forgot to tell the iranians about this, so they shot down an f35 which crashed in shady wahabia. maybe with the s400s that are arriving. all their missiles and missile launchers have been totally destroyed as well. but they forgot to tell the iranians again, so they have fired 3,000 missiles, although they only had 1,500 to begin with. i failed arithmetic at school, maybe someone can explain this to me.
bullchit. iranian snakes are so desperate they are now trying to attack the dimona reactor but completely missing by miles. iranian mullahs are desperately asking to get nooked. we can gladly oblige.
