The White House said the Iranian regime has been “absolutely crushed” while the timeline for military operations remained deeply unclear on the fifth day of the Middle East war, which continued to stress financial and energy markets.

The US has sunk more than 20 Iranian vessels, eliminated 49 Iranian officials, struck more than 2,000 targets and is moving toward “complete and total control of Iranian airspace” in a “remarkably successful” mission, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Wednesday.

The conflict showed no sign of abating, with Tehran again targeting Israel and Gulf states. Meanwhile, Israeli and US forces made good on pledges to bomb more targets in the Islamic Republic. The US sank an Iranian warship in international waters, marking the first time since World War II that an American submarine has attacked a surface vessel.
