Washington, March 1 (IANS). The US-Israeli attack on Iran has increased tension in many parts of the Middle East. The joint action of America and Israel has caused massive destruction in Iran. US President Donald Trump said that US forces have destroyed and sunk nine Iranian navy ships and attacked important military targets, which has further escalated the conflict with Tehran.
US President Donald Trump, while sharing the information on the social media platform ‘Truth’, wrote, “I have just learned that we have destroyed and sunk nine Iranian naval ships, some of them very large and important. We are going after the rest, they too will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea. In a separate attack, we have destroyed their naval headquarters to a large extent. Devastated. Besides, their Navy is doing very well.”
At the same time, Israel Defense Force (IDF) also posted on its official ‘X’ account and wrote, “All the major terrorist leaders of Iran’s axis group of terror have been eliminated.”
United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed major air operations overnight. He said, “Last night American B-2 stealth bombers armed with two thousand pound bombs attacked Iran’s fortified ballistic missile facilities. No country should ever doubt America’s resolve.”
CENTCOM also reported that an Iranian Zamran-class corvette was attacked at the beginning of ‘Operation Epic Fury’. The command said that during the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, US forces targeted an Iranian Zamran-class corvette. This ship is currently sinking near Chabahar Pier in the Gulf of Oman.
Centcom cited Trump’s earlier warning that members of the Iranian armed forces, IRGC and police should lay down their weapons. The military command rejected Tehran’s claim that its response was limited to US military bases only.
CENTCOM alleged that Iran was “actively targeting civilians” and that it had attacked more than a dozen locations. These include Dubai International Airport, Kuwait International Airport, Zayed International Airport (Dubai), Erbil International Airport in Iraq, Fairmont Palm Hotel in Dubai, Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bahrain, Dubai Port, Haifa Oil Refinery, residential areas of Beit Shemesh and Tel Aviv in Israel, residential areas of Era Views Towers in Bahrain and residential areas in Qatar.
