According to White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, the timeline of the operation aligns with President Trump's statements: "We expect that the objectives of Operation 'Epic Fury' will be achieved within four to six weeks, and we have already made significant progress," she noted.
Levitt also reported that American forces have managed to sink more than 30 Iranian military ships, effectively rendering Iran's fleet "unfit for combat" and reducing Tehran's retaliatory capabilities by 90 percent.
The attack on Iran, carried out by Israel and the USA, began on February 28 and was accompanied by numerous air and missile strikes on cities and military targets. In response, Iran attacked Israel and American bases in several Middle Eastern countries. As a result of the initial strikes, several high-ranking Iranian officials and military personnel were killed. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the start of military operation "Epic Fury" shortly after the first attacks.
During the conflict, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as about ten high-ranking officials from Tehran, were killed.
The eastern part of the Mediterranean remains in a state of high tension, as confirmed by current events.
