Top US general says American troops have been sinking Iranian warships, including a submarine, with the ATACMS ballistic missile

"From outside Iran, our Army and Marine artillerymen are hitting sites that Iran relies on to project power beyond their borders. In just the first 13 days of this operation, our artillery forces have made history. They fired the first precision strike missiles ever used in combat, reaching deep into enemy territory. They've used Army ATACMS to sink multiple ships, including a submarine."

"In less than two weeks, we've rendered the Iranian Navy combat ineffective and continue to attack naval vessels, including all of their Soleimani-class warships, which were armed with anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft weapons. US forces are continuing to destroy the Iranian Navy to ensure freedom of navigation."

During Operation Epic Fury, US Army and Marine artillery forces deployed ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles to target Iranian military assets. Within the first 13 days, these forces sank multiple Iranian naval vessels, including submarines and Soleimani-class warships equipped with anti-ship and anti-aircraft missiles. The operation also destroyed Iran's new drone carrier and mine-laying vessels. Gen. Dan Caine announced that these precision strikes marked the first combat use of PrSMs and successfully rendered the Iranian Navy combat ineffective. The targeting strategy focused on sites Iran uses to project power beyond its borders, with operations conducted from outside Iranian territory to ensure freedom of navigation.
