US military officials have confirmed that 44 Iranian mine-laying vessels have been destroyed to prevent a chokehold on the Hormuz Strait.
Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated that the US CENTCOM continues to achieve its military objectives, including hunting and killing mine storage facilities and naval ammunition depots.
The A-10 Warthog and AH-64 Apaches have been deployed to 'hunt and kill' Iranian vessels in the Straits of Hormuz, with the A-10 providing close air support with its 30mm chain gun.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the United States remains 'on plan' in its war against Iran, but declined to provide a definitive timeline for when the conflict would end.
