Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command, said the U.S. has struck more than 5,500 targets inside Iran, including more than 60 ships, using a "variety of precision weapons."   "U.S. forces continue delivering devastating combat power against the Iranian regime," he said in a video posted to social media on Wednesday.   "U.S. combat power is building, Iranian combat power is declining. And we remain centered on very clear military objectives in eliminating Iran's ability to project power against Americans and against its neighbors."   The admiral said U.S. forces remain "centered on very clear military objectives," and that on Tuesday the U.S. conducted strikes "nearly every hour from different locations and directions," taking out four Soleimani-class warships.   "Since the first 24 hours of this campaign, Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks have dropped drastically," he said, while noting that Iran was launching strikes from heavily populated areas.   Seven U.S. service members have been killed in combat since the operation began Feb. 28, and more than 140 have been wounded.   Iranian authorities say more than 1,300 people have been killed there, while Israel has reported 12 people dead and Lebanon said 570 people have been killed in its country.   {📺: U.S. Central Command) Mon, 04 May 2026 21:44:41 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/79329059-b6e0-4e70-bad3-02cf1cc199d6 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
