White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the United States expects 4 to 6 more weeks of military operations to achieve its objectives in Operation Epic Fury, according to the Times of Israel liveblog. Iran navy has been declared combat ineffective after more than 30 naval vessels were sunk during the campaign, and Iranian retaliatory ballistic missile strikes have dropped 90 percent since the conflict began on Feb. 28, a figure corroborated by Breaking Defense, which documented over 2,000 U.S. strikes and 30 ships destroyed.
