US Strikes Iran's Drone Carrier, Escalating Gulf Tensions

0:00On March 2nd, the U.S. military has hit Iran's largest drone carrier in the Persian Gulf as part of a major operation launched under President Trump. Central Command confirmed the strike happened shortly after the initial attacks, targeting a key ship used by Iran for launching drones against American bases and allies in the region. Iranian leaders claim they sank a U.S. aircraft carrier, but Central Command called that out as false propaganda. In reality, U.S. and Allied forces have now sunk 12 Iranian naval vessels since the conflict began, dealing a serious blow to Tehran's seapower. The operation kicked off over the weekend with a massive wave of 100 aircraft from land and sea bases. Trump warned in an interview that Americans should prepare for more fighting, estimating the work a drag on for up to four weeks with no firm end. Dates it, casualties remain low on the U.S. side, with four service members killed in 18 injured from Iranian missile strikes that hit some defenses in, places like Dubai.
