US strikes have rendered Iranian navy ‘combat ineffective,’ White House says

U.S.-led airstrikes have destroyed more than 50 Iranian naval vessels, including a major drone carrying ship, the White House said, rendering its navy as “combat ineffective.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said none of Iran’s vessels were operating in major waterways.

“The United States is also annihilating the Iranian regime’s navy,” she said.

“More than 5000 enemy targets have been struck so far. Iran’s ballistic missile attacks are down more than 90%, and their drone attacks are down by approximately 85% since the start of Operation Epic Fury,” she added.
