White House Claims ‘Massive Results’ From US-Israeli Strikes On Iran

ISTANBUL, March 15 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The White House said on Saturday that joint US-Israeli military operations against Iran have produced “massive results”, claiming significant damage to Tehran’s missile, naval and drone capabilities, Anadolu Ajansi reported.

In a statement posted on X, the administration said Iran’s ballistic missile capacity has been “functionally destroyed”, while the country’s navy is assessed as “combat ineffective”.

The statement also asserted that US and Israeli forces have established “complete and total aerial dominance over Iran” as part of the ongoing military campaign known as “Operation Epic Fury”, which began on Feb 28 with coordinated strikes across Iran.

According to the White House, the operation — now in its 15th day — has significantly degraded Iran’s ability to launch attacks.

A graphic accompanying the statement said Iranian drone attacks have declined by 95 per cent, while more than 90 Iranian naval vessels are reported to have been sunk or destroyed during the campaign.

The White House also claimed that more than 6,000 targets inside Iran have been struck since the start of the operation.

Since Israel and the US launched joint attacks on Iran on Feb 28, killing about 1,200 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hostilities have escalated.

Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
