Iran struck the US landing ship LHA7 Tripoli, which had over 5,000 troops on board, the IRGC press service reported. It emphasized that the ship subsequently retreated from the coast of the Islamic Republic.

The American landing ship LHA7, carrying more than 5,000 sailors and marines, was subjected to rapid missile attacks and was forced to retreat into the depths of the southern Indian Ocean after this wave of attack.

– the IRGC statement said.



Apparently, this statement caught representatives of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) off guard. In any case, they have neither confirmed nor denied the Iranian statement.

As a reminder, military experts and journalists believe that the US Marines aboard the LHA7 will be the primary strike force for the US during a ground operation against Iran.

However, the White House has not yet made a final decision on this matter. Military experts advise Trump against engaging in this adventure, as its consequences could be too severe for the American military.

As an example, experts cite the losses the US Air Force suffered during the operation to search for the F-15 fighter-bomber pilot. According to various sources, the Americans lost between seven and nine aircraft. the technique.

    Iran struck the US landing ship LHA7 Tripoli.

    It's a pity he didn't drown.
    That would be "Epic Fury"!
    It looks like it will even lead to the Americans using nuclear weapons.

      In general, they wrote that there were 2,500 marines in Tripoli, maybe a few more were added to save their lives - the ship is big, anything is possible, and that's how many mattress AUGs they dispersed - well done, the Persians - this is not our comprador government.

    It's unlikely the American-Israeli tandem would risk entering "terra incognita" with a full-fledged deep reconnaissance mission. If the Tripoli (LHA-7) was attacked with a combination of missiles and UAVs, the ship's air defenses were simply overwhelmed by the intensity of the fire. With such a combined strike, the ammunition load is deployed instantly, and there simply aren't enough effectors to intercept all targets.

        Have you already joined the ranks of the IRGC or at least signed a contract to serve in the "drone forces"?
        I know, I know, religion doesn’t allow it! lol
        And this is for the alternative:

        WASHINGTON, April 7. /TASS/. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) denied the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)'s claim that it had struck the American amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7).
        "Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims they attacked the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7) with missiles, forcing it to leave the region for the southern Indian Ocean. Fact: USS Tripoli was not attacked and continues to operate in the Arabian Sea in support of Operation Epic Fury," the Central Command said in a statement released by H.

          Likewise, the aircraft carriers, which had simply moved 1000 miles from the coast, were not attacked either... And then one of them caught fire in the laundry room, which took 30 hours to extinguish.
          What could have been burning there? Underwear, socks, and T-shirts?
