Iran Missile Attacks Down by 90% After US Strikes with B-2 Bombers

US Military Reports Significant Reduction in Iranian Missile Attacks

The US military has announced that the number of Iranian missile attacks has decreased by 90% following a series of strikes carried out by B-2 bombers. General Kenneth Tovo, head of US Central Command, attributed this significant reduction to the deployment of the stealth bombers.

According to General Tovo, the B-2 bombers have dropped dozens of 2,000-pound bombs on buried Iranian ballistic missile launchers. This targeted operation appears to have had a substantial impact on the country’s ability to launch missiles.

Additionally, General Tovo reported that an Iranian “drone carrier ship” is currently on fire after being hit by US forces. The exact circumstances surrounding this incident are not yet clear.

The US military has confirmed that the strikes were carried out in response to increased missile attacks from Iran. While details of the operation remain classified, officials have stated that the goal was to disrupt Iranian ballistic missile capabilities.

As a result of these strikes, the number of Iranian missile attacks has decreased by 90%, according to General Tovo. The exact duration of this reduction is not specified.

The US military has released few details about the operation, citing national security concerns. Further information on the incident will likely be provided in the coming days as more details become available.
