US Deploys Precision Strike Missile in Combat for First Time During Iran Operation

The United States military used its long-range Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) in actual combat for the first time as part of Operation Epic Fury, CENTCOM chief Admiral Brad Cooper announced Wednesday. U.S. forces have struck or sunk more than 20 Iranian warships since the operation commenced Saturday, including the destruction of a Soleimani-class IRGC warship on Tuesday night, which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described as the pinnacle of Iran's naval fleet.
