A U.S. admiral spoke about the U.S. Navy's success in destroying Iran's fleet.

More than 30 Iranian ships have been destroyed throughout the U.S. Operation Epic Fury, and a few hours ago the U.S. military struck an enemy aircraft carrier carrying drones.

Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said this, ABC.

"You may have heard the president say recently that we sank or destroyed 24 ships. That was true at the time. Now we have over 30 ships," the CENTCOM commander said.

He said the U.S. carried out drone strikes against an Iranian aircraft carrier a few hours ago.

"As we speak, it's on fire," Cooper noted.

The admiral also said that over the past three days, the U.S. military has hit nearly two hundred targets from the sky deep in Iran, particularly around Tehran.

Brad Cooper also revealed that in the last hour alone, U.S. B-2 bombers have dropped dozens of heavy bombs that target Iranian ballistic missile launchers located underground.

With regard to Iran's retaliatory attacks, the CENTCOM commander noted that their missile attacks have decreased by 90% since the first day of the conflict, and the number of drone attacks has decreased by 83%.

Reminder, on March 4, the head of the US Central Command, Brad Cooper, described how US forces are "sinking the Iranian navy," which is also one of Washington's goals.
