Iran’s longest-range attack yet targets US-UK base as nuclear site hit again; Israel warns of a ‘significant’ surge in attacks

The US military says it has now struck more than 8000 targets since the start of the war four weeks ago.

Despite Iran’s weaponry being badly damaged and destroyed, it is showing no sign of backing down

US Central Command claimed on Saturday that 130 vessels had been hit, marking “the largest elimination of a navy over a three-week period since World War II”.

“Just two days ago, the US Army launched the longest field artillery strike in Army combat history using precision strike missiles. The strike took out Iranian military infrastructure, demonstrating the US military’s unmatched reach and lethality,” Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of US CENTCOM, said in a video posted on the US social media company X.

He also claimed that Iran has suffered a major decline in its combat capabilities over the previous three weeks.
