LIVEIRAN-ISRAEL CONFLICTIran-Israel conflict: Over 800 dead; US strikes 2,000 sites in Iran, Dubai consulate targeted

Follow Us The United States military has struck nearly 2,000 targets inside Iran in what officials described as the region’s largest firepower buildup in a generation, a top American commander said Tuesday. Admiral Brad Cooper of US Central Command said in a video message that US forces had used more than 2,000 munitions, severely degrading Iran’s air defences and destroying hundreds of ballistic missiles, launchers and drones. He added that the first 24 hours of the operation were nearly double the scale of the opening day of the 2003 Iraq war and that round-the-clock strikes were continuing.
