US forces have struck over 10,000 targets in Iran since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, US Central Command (CENTCOM) chief Admiral Brad Cooper announced on Wednesday.
In a video posted on X/Twitter, Cooper stated that the US had struck its 10,000th target "just hours ago," adding that the total was even more impressive when combined with targets struck by Israel.
"Together, we have struck thousands more, clearly demonstrating that we're stronger together," Cooper said.
Cooper gave several examples of the success of the strikes, claiming that the US had destroyed 92% of the Iranian navy's largest vessels.
"My operation assessment is that they have now lost the ability to meaningfully project naval power and influence around the region and around the world," he said.
Iran drone, missile launches down 90%
He also cited Iran's heavily degraded missile capabilities, and strikes on missile, drone, and naval production sites, stating that Iran's drone and missile launch rates were down by 90%, and that two-thirds of its military manufacturing capacities had been destroyed or heavily damaged.
The US Air Force, Cooper said, had flown more than 10,000 combat flights, demonstrating their dominance over Iran's airspace.
"I just could not be prouder of our troops, and I know the American people share that pride," Cooper concluded.
