The United States Armed Forces has damaged or destroyed “two-thirds” of Iran’s drone and missile production capabilities, as well as its naval shipyards, a senior U.S. official said.
“By now, we have damaged or destroyed more than two-thirds of Iran’s drone and missile production facilities, as well as its shipyards—and we are not finished,” said Admiral Brad Cooper, head of United States Central Command, in a post on the social platform X.
Cooper also stated that the United States has destroyed “92% of Iran’s fleet,” adding that Tehran has “lost the ability to significantly project its naval power and influence in the region and globally.”

Ballistic missile launches and drone attacks originating from Iran continue to decline sharply, he added, noting that the United States also controls Iranian airspace.
The United States and Israel launched a large-scale bombing campaign against Iran on February 28, targeting military infrastructure and leadership figures.
Since then, U.S. forces have struck more than 10,000 military targets, Cooper said.
