There are a number of reports that the USS Carney has been sunk after being struck by an anti-ship missile. The sinking has not yet been confirmed, but the details of the report of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer going down in 23 minutes are very precise.
Centcom has not yet confirmed the loss of the ship, although based on the extreme censorship being practiced by the Epstein Alliance, it’s unlikely that it would be confirmed anyhow. We may not know for weeks or even months how badly the US Navy and Air Force are being damaged by the Iranian forces. The fact that the few assets that can’t be hidden are badly damaged while all the assets that can be are reportedly almost entirely unharmed tends to indicate that the losses are considerably worse than are being admitted.
There are also reports that Israel has managed to kill a few more replacement leaders, including the security chief Larjani, despite the complete failure of the decapitation strike strategy.
Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani has been assassinated in an overnight strike by the IDF, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has claimed. Tehran has not confirmed the top official’s death. The Israeli military has also reported having killed the commander of Iran’s Basij paramilitary force, Gholamreza Soleimani, and other high-ranking members of the group.
I don’t know how or why anyone is going to be impressed by a military continuing to pursue a strategy that not only doesn’t work, but doesn’t appear to even slow down the other side’s ability to continue escalating the war.
