In a bold new ᴀssessment, the US military claims it has significantly “degraded” Iran’s ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz after weeks of intense naval and air operations.
Pentagon officials said US forces neutralized much of Iran’s fast attack craft, missile launchers, and its ability to lay oil in the vital waterway, calling the process a “major strategic victory” that ensures safer pᴀssage for global oil shipments.
However, Iran has issued a shocking reʙuттal. The IRGC announced it had successfully sH๏τ down an Israeli F-16 fighter jet over central Iran, releasing footage showing what appears to be a jet exploding in mid-air. Tehran is celebrating this incident as further evidence of the vulnerability of US and Israeli air forces deep inside Iranian territory.
