The US Army announces that it has "severely degraded" Iran's defense: "Today, there are no Iranian ships left in the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, or the Gulf of Oman. And we will not stop."

The commander of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), Admiral Brad Cooper, stated on Tuesday, on the fourth day of the war, that Iran has launched over 500 ballistic missiles and over 2,000 drones in retaliatory attacks so far. For its part, the U.S. has struck nearly 2,000 targets in Iran and destroyed 17 Iranian ships.

Cooper emphasized that the main objective of the operation is the destruction of the Iranian navy, stating that there are no longer any Iranian ships in the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, or the Gulf of Oman. With over 50,000 soldiers and 200 fighter jets involved, the attacks continue relentlessly, and Cooper mentioned that Iran's response is decreasing.
