JAKARTA - The United States has sunk more than 65 Iranian ships, said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
"This operation has only been running for two weeks and we have completely destroyed the Iranian regime's navy, we have eliminated almost all of their ballistic missile threats. In fact, ballistic missile attacks from Iran are currently down 90 percent, their ability is down 95 percent," Leavitt told Fox News on Saturday (14/3).
"We have sunk more than 65 of their naval vessels, we have attacked more than 6,000 targets across the country," Leavitt continued.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched an attack on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran retaliated, attacking Israeli territory and US military facilities throughout the Middle East.
Escalating tensions around Iran have led to a de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which is the main route for the shipment of oil and liquefied natural gas from Persian Gulf countries to global markets.
In addition, this condition also has an impact on the number of exports and oil production in the region.
