US President Trump Announces Major Strikes on Iran in Operation Epic Fury
Washington DC: On March 16, President Donald Trump declared that US military forces have targeted over 7,000 locations in Iran as part of 'Operation Epic Fury'. He stated that Iran's military capabilities, including its navy and air force, have been effectively dismantled. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has now reached its 17th day, with the US ramping up its military efforts against Iran. Trump emphasized, "The Iranian Air Force is gone. The Navy is gone. Many ships SUNK. Total OBLITERATION," during a press briefing.
He further claimed that US operations have led to a 90% decrease in Iran's ballistic missile launches and a 95% drop in drone attacks. "Since the conflict began, we have targeted more than 7,000 sites, primarily focusing on commercial and military installations. We are also attacking the facilities where they produce missiles and drones, and this is ongoing today," Trump elaborated.
Trump also noted that over 100 Iranian naval vessels have been either sunk or destroyed in the past week and a half, with additional strikes being conducted continuously. "We just hit three of them today. Strikes are being launched from all directions every hour," he added.
