Dear A.,
CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper gave his fifth operational update on Operation Epic Fury, saying the United States hit its 10,000th regime target earlier today.
As part of these strikes, the U.S. has sunk 92% of the Iranian Navy's major vessels, and the regime has now "lost the ability to meaningfully project naval power and influence around the region and around the world."
In addition to reducing Iran's drone and missile launch rates by 90%, the U.S.-Israel joint operations have destroyed the regime's manufacturing capacity, ensuring it cannot easily rebuild its arsenal.

More key updates:
-
Iran has reportedly rejected the U.S. 15-point proposal to end the war, saying the conflict will end only on Tehran’s terms and that it will not allow President Trump to dictate the timeline. According to reports, the plan focused on nuclear dismantlement, ending support for proxy groups, ensuring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, and limiting the regime’s missile program.
-
Israeli journalist Amit Segal reported today that the regime's demands, according to U.S. officials, are "ridiculous and unrealistic." Segal reports that they include, "the closure of all U.S. bases in the Gulf, reparations for strikes on Iran, a Hormuz transit fee arrangement, an end to strikes on Hezbollah, the lifting of all sanctions, and the preservation of its missile program."
-
A new report says Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and "seems involved in decision-making in Iran."

disarm Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip, which must take place before any rebuilding can begin.
He said that Hamas must disarm under the Board's principle of "one authority, one law, and one weapon," adding that, "the people of Gaza want reconstruction, and reconstruction requires the decommissioning of weapons."
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz added that the "future of Gaza is entirely dependent on Hamas decommissioning its weapons."
