US military forces struck and set ablaze an Iranian drone carrier naval vessel under Operation Epic Fury, CENTCOM announced Thursday. The targeted vessel was described as roughly the size of a WWII aircraft carrier, with CENTCOM stating US forces are not holding back on the mission to sink the entire Iranian Navy. CENTCOM chief Admiral Brad Cooper confirmed B-2 Stealth Bombers were deployed to drop 2,000-pound bombs on Iranian targets, while B-52 Stratofortresses struck Iranian ballistic missile sites and command and control posts.
