<div>
<p>While the legacy media continues to hyperventilate over &#8220;escalation&#8221; in the U.S. war against Iran, General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stepped to the podium today to deliver a masterclass in American military might.</p>
<p>Caine didn&#8217;t just report progress on the 13th day of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Operation Epic Fury. He announced that the U.S. military is currently rewriting the history of land-based warfare.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="3">For those who thought the Iranian regime’s &#8220;formidable&#8221; defenses would pose a challenge, Caine had a different story: The Iranian Navy is already combat ineffective, over 6,000 targets have been turned to rubble, and the U.S. is now &#8220;persistently over the enemy.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The headline of the day wasn&#8217;t just the sheer volume of strikes, but the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>way<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>they are being delivered. Caine confirmed that for the first time in history, the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>has been used in combat.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="6">In a display of multi-domain dominance that should make every adversary on the planet rethink their life choices, Caine detailed how Army and Marine artillerymen — sitting in armored cabs outside Iran’s borders — are reaching deep into enemy territory to sink ships. Yes, you read that correctly: American soldiers and Marines are using land-based rocket systems like<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>HIMARS<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>ATACMS<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>to sink multiple Iranian vessels, including a submarine.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>“In just the first 13 days of this operation, our artillery forces have made history,” he declared. “They fired the first precision strike missiles ever used in combat, reaching deep into enemy territory. They&#8217;ve used Army ATACMS to sink multiple ships, including a submarine, and they&#8217;ve done all of this with the precision and determination that comes from relentless training and trust in each other.”</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="7">Caine recounted a conversation with a 20-year-old soldier from the 3rd Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment who fired those historic rounds. When the General asked what it felt like to ignite a rocket motor 10 feet behind his head to do the nation&#8217;s work, the young soldier’s response was pure American grit:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="8,0">&#8220;It’s awesome.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="9">No drama. No hesitation. Just flawless execution. When asked what the Pentagon could provide them, the answer wasn&#8217;t &#8220;de-escalation&#8221; or &#8220;diplomatic off-ramps.&#8221; It was two words:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>&#8220;More rounds.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The strategic results of this &#8220;awesome&#8221; precision are staggering. Caine noted that in less than two weeks, the U.S. has rendered the Iranian Navy a memory. This includes the total destruction of their<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Soleimani-class warships, the regime’s prized vessels armed with anti-ship and anti-aircraft weapons.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="12">The focus has now shifted to the &#8220;mine-laying enterprise.&#8221; Caine made it clear that while Iran remains the belligerent holding the Straits of Hormuz hostage, the U.S. is systematically deleting its naval bases, depots, and factories. The goal is simple: ensure they can never rebuild the tools of terror.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The briefing was not without its solemn moments. Caine addressed the tragic loss of a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>KC-135 refueling aircraft<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and the ongoing recovery mission for its crew. He also noted injuries to sailors following a fire on the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>USS Gerald R. Ford.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="15">&#8220;Our service members make an incredible sacrifice,&#8221; Caine said, reminding the room that the &#8220;knock on the door&#8221; is the ultimate price of the security the rest of the country enjoys.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>If the Iranian regime was hoping for a reprieve, Caine’s closing remarks extinguished it. He labeled today as the &#8220;heaviest day of kinetic fires&#8221; in the history of the operation. With strike packages launching every hour and the Joint Staff working 24/7 to deliver options to President Trump, the message is clear: The U.S. is not just winning; it is conducting a clinical, historic dismantling of a radical regime.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="18">As Caine put it, the American Joint Force carries their responsibility with &#8220;grit, professionalism, and tenacity.&#8221;</p>
<p data-path-to-node="18">And they aren&#8217;t stopping until the job is done.</p>
