The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Kiumars Heydari, claimed that the US had lost its air and naval superiority in the region, and claimed that there were no American forces left in the Gulf and that the nearest American aircraft carrier is now about 500 kilometers from Iran's borders near Chabahar.
Heidari further claimed that Iranian missile strikes disabled two US warships on September 7 and 8, while a three-day attack on Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan destroyed most of the enemy's strategic aircraft.
Highlighting Iran's military capabilities, Heydari said the newly unveiled missile city contains advanced weapons systems and undisclosed technologies that could be deployed in future conflicts in due course.
