US Central Command forces have struck more than 3,000 Iranian military targets within the first seven days of operations, damaging or destroying 43 naval vessels, according to a recent update.
The command shared these cumulative results on X, one week after the campaign’s launch on local time June 6.
Key Targets Destroyed
Operations focused on critical Iranian infrastructure, including command and control centers, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) joint headquarters and air bases, integrated air defense systems, underground ballistic missile sites, naval ships and submarines, anti-ship missile facilities, and military communication networks.
Aerial and Precision Assets Deployed
B-1 and B-2 stealth bombers led the strikes, supported by loitering munitions known as “suicide drones,” including the Lucas drone, Patriot air defense missiles, and THAAD high-altitude ballistic missile defense systems.
Fighter jets such as F-15s, F-16s, F-22s, F-35 stealth aircraft, and A-10 attack planes conducted air missions, alongside EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft, AWACS early warning planes, airborne communication relays, P-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft, RC-135 reconnaissance planes, and MQ-9 Reaper drones.
Naval and Ground Forces Involved
Ground elements included M-142 HIMARS rocket systems, while naval assets featured nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, guided-missile destroyers, drone countermeasures, air force squadron aircraft, support ships, C-17 Globemaster transports, and C-130 cargo planes.
Central Command emphasized that additional specialized assets, too numerous to detail publicly, also participated in the effort.
