The United States and Israel have taken out 92% of the Iranian navy's large ships since the start of the war, according to CENTCOM.
“U.S. military strikes on the IRGC-N will continue. Therefore, we call on every Iranian serving in the IRGC-N to immediately abandon their post and return home to avoid further risk of unnecessary injury or death,” Adm.
Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, said in aIran war sparks lobbying gold rush for defense and energy sectors Cooper said the region is now “safer” due to the fatal strike, which took out the Guard’s Adm. Alireza Tangsiri, a U.S. Treasury“Tangsiri commanded the IRGC-N for eight years, during which time the IRGC harassed thousands of innocent merchant mariners, attacked hundreds of vessels with one way attack drones and missiles, and killed countless innocent civilians,” Cooper said in the statement. The United States and Israel have taken out 92% of the Iranian navy’s large ships since the start of Operations Epic Fury and Roaring Lion on Feb. 28, according to CENTCOM. Cooper described the Guard’s navy as “on an irreversible decline.” The news of Tangsiri’s ouster comes days after Cooper’s latest update on the war, in which he announced CENTCOM took out Iranian facilities surrounding the Strait of Hormuz that were used for intelligence support and to house “Iran’s ability to threaten freedom of navigation in and around the Strait of Hormuz is degraded as a result, and we will not stop pursuing these targets,” Cooper said on Saturday. “Their navy is sunk in the largest elimination of a foreign Navy that has taken place, maybe ever, but certainly since World War II,” Trump said.Trump noted that the U.S.-Israeli military operation has taken out 154 Iranian ships so far, saying the Guard’s naval warships are “resting very nicely at the bottom of the sea.” “Not only do they not have a navy, Mr. President, they no longer have a navy commander,” Hegseth said, referring to the fatal strike on Tangsiri. “So, no navy, no navy leader.”
