U.S. military claims to have hit an Iranian drone aircraft carrier

U.S. Central Command Commander Cooper said on the 5th that the U.S. military has sunk or destroyed more than 30 ships and hit an Iranian drone aircraft carrier. Cooper held a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin at the U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Florida. The U.S. Central Command is mainly responsible for U.S. military operations in the Middle East. Cooper said, “Just in the past few hours, we hit an Iranian drone aircraft carrier about the size of a World War II carrier. As we speak, it is already on fire.” Cooper also said that Iran’s ballistic missile attacks have decreased by 90% since the U.S. began its actions, and drone attacks have decreased by 83%. The U.S. military is destroying Iran’s ballistic missile industrial facilities and its rebuilding capabilities. In the next phase of the operation, the U.S. will systematically destroy Iran’s future missile production capacity. Hegseth stated that the U.S. military has eliminated most of Iran’s navy and established complete dominance over sea and air. He also said that U.S. ammunition is sufficient, with enough defensive and offensive weapons reserves to support this operation. (Xinhua)
