U.S. Central Command says American forces are not holding back in operations targeting Iranian naval power

According to United States Central Command, American forces are aggressively targeting Iranian naval assets and military infrastructure across the region.

Military officials stated that U.S. forces are not holding back in their mission to sink the entire Iranian navy, signaling a dramatic escalation in the confrontation between the United States and Iran.

President Donald Trump said the Iranian regime is suffering severe military losses as American operations intensify across the Middle East.

White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement that Iran’s military retaliation is rapidly weakening.

She stated that Iran’s ballistic missile attacks are decreasing daily, naval forces are being destroyed, and weapons production facilities are being dismantled.

According to the White House, Operation Epic Fury is already meeting — and in some cases surpassing — its strategic goals.

However, the conflict may now be expanding beyond a direct U.S.–Iran confrontation.

A report by The Washington Post revealed that Russia may be providing intelligence information to Iran to assist the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in targeting U.S. forces and strategic locations across the Middle East.

Three officials familiar with the intelligence reportedly confirmed the development.

If confirmed, this would mark the first known involvement of a major U.S. adversary in the conflict, raising concerns that the confrontation could evolve into a broader geopolitical confrontation involving nuclear-armed powers.

Analysts say Moscow could be attempting to replicate a strategy previously used by the United States during the Ukraine war — supplying intelligence support to weaken an opponent without directly deploying troops.

Experts warn that such indirect involvement could increase the scale and complexity of the conflict in the Middle East.

Despite the developments, the White House insists the United States maintains overwhelming military dominance in the region and will continue operations until its objectives are achieved.
