The statement comes amid reports that the Iranian side has launched the fewest missiles in the past 24 hours since the start of active hostilities. According to the U.S. command, this may indicate a decline in Tehran's combat potential after previous waves of attacks.
General Dan Cane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, added that U.S. forces have entered their 11th day of a large-scale operation against Iran. Strikes are being conducted by joint U.S. and Israeli forces in response to Iranian aggression in the region. The main targets are drone and missile manufacturing plants, oil refining facilities, and command centers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
