CENTCOM Details Iran Military Strikes

CENTCOM Details Iran Military Strikes The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Monday released photographic evidence of U.S. forces striking multiple Iranian military sites, aiming to dismantle the regime's defense industrial base. Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, presented before-and-after images during a video update on Operation Epic Fury, illustrating the destruction of facilities used for military weapons manufacturing.

The revealed targets included a naval drone storage facility near the Strait of Hormuz, struck on March 1; an attack drone production factory in Tehran, hit on March 5; and the Yazd Military Depot, targeted last month. Cooper specified that eight buildings at the Yazd Military Depot, part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) missile command infrastructure, were destroyed, having been used for producing light and heavy torpedoes.

Cooper stated that these strikes align with military objectives to eliminate Iran's capacity to project power against the U.S. and its neighbors.

He also indicated a focus on dismantling Iran's threat to commerce in the Strait of Hormuz, reporting that over 100 Iranian naval vessels have been destroyed through combined air, land, and maritime operations. Concurrently, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt affirmed President Donald Trump's position that countries benefiting from these actions should contribute to securing the Strait of Hormuz, noting ongoing discussions with European and Gulf allies.
