The United States has hit more than 13,000 targets and sank or damaged 155 ships since the attack on Iran began on Feb. 28, U.S. Central Command said Monday in its latest overview of the weapons and targets from the war.
In its overview of the U.S. military effort, CENTCOM said American forces have used 26 different aircraft, as well as four land-based missile systems and six sea-based weapons systems.
The U.S. has added new assets, including the first use in the Iran conflict of the U-2 “Dragon Lady” high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and the first reported combat-area use of the EA-37B Compass Call electronic warfare aircraft.
The U.S. military has used Patriot interceptor missiles, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors, M-142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), and a variety of unnamed counter-drone systems.
The U.S. has also used the Low Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS), a reverse-engineered version of a captured Iranian Shahed-136 drone, to strike at Iranian targets.
The USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike forces have taken part in the attacks, as have U.S. guided-missile destroyers, amphibious assault ships and amphibious transport docks. The Navy says that U.S. nuclear-powered submarines have joined in attacks. Refueling and supply ships have maintained the fleet’s stores while at sea in a combat zone.
CENTCOM said U.S. forces have hit Iranian command and control centers, Iranian Revolutionary Guard headquarters, and intelligence sites, ballistic missile launchers, drone batteries, and anti-ship and anti-aircraft sites. The attacks have also hit at least one major bridge near Tehran, the capital, as well as warehouses and bunkers used in manufacturing.
U.S. officials say 13 American service members have been killed in the war. Israel has reported 24 dead; 27 have been killed in the Gulf States. Al Jazeera, a Qatari-based news agency, has estimated 1,937 dead in Iran, though the numbers have not been independently verified.
The impact of the war has roiled U.S. fuel and stock markets.
The price of a regular gallon of gas averaged $4.12 nationwide on Monday, according to the AAA Fuel Price website. That’s up $1.20 per gallon from an average price of $2.92 on Feb. 28, the day the U.S.-Israeli coalition attacked Iran.
Hawaii has the highest price, at $5.60 per gallon. California and Washington currently have gas prices of over $5 per gallon. The lowest average price is in Oklahoma, at $3.27 per gallon. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and North Dakota have gas prices under $3.40 per gallon.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up +165.21 on Monday to 46,669.88. It has lost 2,308.04 points since it closed on Feb. 27 at 48,977.92 the day before fighting began.
