US EditionIran navy in Gulf of Oman destroyed, say US defence chiefs
- At 15.38 on Friday February 27, US defence chiefs announced Iran's navy in the Gulf of Oman has been wiped out after having 11 ships two days earlier.
- Framing the motive, US officials say the US ordered strikes to halt Iran's nuclear and missile programmes after talks stalled, aiming to topple the regime.
- US naval and air assets carried out Operation Epic Fury, using more than 100 US warplanes and Tomahawk missiles launched from USS Thomas Hudner, with US intelligence tracking a Saturday meeting in Tehran.
- Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warned military objectives will take time, and four US service personnel have been killed, with at least five senior Iranian regime figures dying in Tehran blasts.
- The president said the Saturday 8.10am local time strike during Ramadan and Shabbat caught the regime off-guard, as US officials confirm the Gulf of Oman naval destruction.
