Washington, March 5: The United States has announced that its military operations against Iran have targeted over 2,000 sites, significantly weakening Tehran’s missile and naval capabilities. The White House defended President Donald Trump’s decision to initiate Operation Epic Fury.
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt stated that the campaign, which began last weekend, aims to eliminate Iran’s missile threats, destroy its naval capacity, and prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Levitt told reporters at the White House, “Under President Trump’s leadership, Iran’s terrorist regime is being thoroughly crushed. The U.S. has conducted attacks on over 2,000 sites, destroying hundreds of ballistic missiles, launchers, and drones.”
This operation has already incapacitated Iran’s ability to threaten U.S. forces and allies in the region. “It is safe to say that Operation Epic Fury has been completely successful so far,” she added.
The White House reported that U.S. forces have inflicted heavy damage on Iran’s naval fleet. “On Tuesday night, the U.S. used torpedoes to destroy over 20 Iranian vessels, including Iran’s most advanced submarine.”
They noted that Iranian naval activity in key regional waterways has nearly ceased. No Iranian ships are present in the Strait of Hormuz or the Gulf of Oman.
The military campaign has four main objectives: to destroy Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities, damage its navy, weaken regional proxy networks, and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Levitt mentioned that since the campaign began, there has been a significant reduction in Iranian missile attacks, with an 86% decrease in ballistic missile launches compared to the initial day of operations.
The White House also stated that senior Iranian leadership has been heavily targeted, with over 49 top leaders, including Supreme Leader Khamenei, eliminated.
They justified the killings of Iranian leaders as necessary for the protection of the U.S. and its allies. “There is no doubt that eliminating these brutal terrorists is good for America and has made the world a much safer place,” Levitt asserted.
During the operation, six U.S. soldiers lost their lives. Levitt expressed condolences for the fallen soldiers, noting that President Trump plans to attend their respectful memorial services.
Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, over 17,500 American troops have safely returned home from the Middle East.
