"The Two Most Powerful Air Forces in the World, the U.S. and Israel, Are Dominating the Skies" over Iran
(Fox News) Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, said Tuesday: "By order of the President of the United States and the Secretary of War, our military in the Middle East is undertaking an unprecedented operation to eliminate Iran's ability to threaten Americans as they've been doing for nearly half a century....More than 50,000 troops, 200 [jet] fighters, two aircraft carriers, and bombers from the United States are participating in this operation, and more capability is on the way." "We've already struck nearly 2,000 targets with more than 2,000 munitions. We have severely degraded Iran's air defenses and destroyed hundreds of Iran's ballistic missiles, launchers, and drones. And in simple terms, we're focused on shooting all the things that can shoot at us. Our B2 bombers and B1 bombers have executed uncontested surgical strikes against multiple missile facilities deep inside Iran." "Thus far, we've destroyed 17 Iranian ships, including the most operational Iranian submarine that now has a hole in its side. For decades, the Iranian regime has harassed international shipping. Today, there's not a single Iranian ship underway in the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, or Gulf of Oman, and we will not stop....We're hunting Iran's last remaining mobile ballistic missile launchers to eliminate what I would characterize as their lingering launch capability." "The Iranian regime has launched over 500 ballistic missiles and over 2,000 drones. To be clear, Iran is indiscriminately targeting civilians as they launch these missiles and drones. You've seen it on TV. The evidence is crystal clear and overwhelming. Having said this, we are seeing Iran's ability to hit us and our partners is declining while our combat power, on the other hand, is building." "Our naval forces have deployed multiple waves of cruise missiles, obliterating Iranian command and control and air defense capabilities.... U.S. air forces are doing what they do best, executing a high volume of air strikes right into Iran. Operationally, the two most powerful air forces in the world, the U.S. and Israel, are dominating the skies over the world's largest state sponsor of terror."
