the Iranian regime as Operation Epic Fury continues expanding across Iranian airspace.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"875\" data-start=\"547\">Iranian state outlets and officials have circulated a series of sweeping claims in recent days, including that United States forces are withdrawing from the region, that an American destroyer had been sunk, that Iranian forces shot down United States fighter jets, and that 100 United States Marines had been killed.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"909\" data-start=\"877\">CENTCOM says none of it is true.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1070\" data-start=\"911\">\u201cMore fake news

they are expanding the fight.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1377\" data-start=\"1185\">United States aircraft and naval assets are pushing deeper into Iranian airspace as strikes intensify against military infrastructure tied to Tehran\u2019s drone and ballistic missile programs.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1499\" data-start=\"1379\">At the same time, American forces have already destroyed a significant portion of Iran\u2019s naval capability in the region.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1688\" data-start=\"1501\">According to CENTCOM, United States forces have sunk more than 20 Iranian regime vessels using what the command described as overwhelming firepower from air, land, and sea operations.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1767\" data-start=\"1690\">The campaign is also dramatically degrading Iran\u2019s ability to launch attacks.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"1967\" data-start=\"1769\">Over a four-day period, United States forces have reduced Iranian regime drone launches by 73 percent and ballistic missile launches by 86 percent, according to the military\u2019s latest assessment.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2068\" data-start=\"1969\">The command concluded its fact check with a blunt reminder of the imbalance between the two forces.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2154\" data-start=\"2070\">\u201cUnited States military power projection capability is unmatched,\u201d CENTCOM said.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2291\" data-start=\"2156\">The update comes as Operation Epic Fury enters one of its most intense phases since the joint United States\u2013Israel operation began.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2549\" data-start=\"2293\">The campaign was launched after United States and Israeli forces carried out a precision strike that eliminated Iran\u2019s longtime Supreme Leader and targeted key components of the regime\u2019s military infrastructure tied to its missile and nuclear programs.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2767\" data-start=\"2551\">In response, Iranian officials vowed what they called the \u201cfiercest offensive in history,\u201d launching waves of missiles and drones across the region, including attacks targeting Israel and United States positions.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2865\" data-start=\"2769\">But the latest battlefield data suggests those capabilities are already being severely degraded.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3116\" data-start=\"2867\">American and allied air defenses have intercepted many incoming threats, while follow-on United States strikes have systematically targeted drone launch sites, missile batteries, and naval assets tied to Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3314\" data-start=\"3118\">At the same time, Iranian officials and state media have continued circulating dramatic claims of battlefield victories \u2014 assertions the United States military says simply don\u2019t match reality.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3548\" data-start=\"3316\">Battlefield data tells a very different story: Iranian missile launches are plummeting, its naval forces are being destroyed, and American forces are expanding strikes deeper into Iranian airspace as Operation Epic Fury intensifies.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"3667\" data-start=\"3550\">As Iran pushes propaganda online, the United States military says the battlefield continues delivering the truth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br
