"We haven't even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn't even happened. The big one is coming soon," he told CNN.
Photos provided by satellite imagery companies Planet Labs and Vantor show serious damage to buildings, ships and tunnel systems.
Here, thick black plumes of smoke were seen rising from the naval base in Konarak in south-eastern Iran.
In this close-up of the base, a vessel was seen burning.
The US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East and across the world, said 17 Iranian vessels, including its most operational submarine, were destroyed.
A ship was capsized off the base in the Gulf of Oman after a strike left the base charred.
"For decades, the Iranian regime has harassed international shipping," US Central Command head Brad Cooper said in a video on X on Wednesday.
"Today, there is not a single Iranian vessel underway in the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or Gulf of Oman, and we will not stop."

Facilities were also destroyed at the base.
At the nearby airbase in Konarak, a precision air strike has damaged aircraft shelters.
Black smoke and damage were seen at the Bandar Abbas Military Harbour - the main base and headquarters of the Iranian Navy.
The base is in a strategic position on the Strait of Hormuz.
The strait is a narrow waterway that allows passage to one-fifth of the world's oil supply.

Smoke rose and buildings were crumbled at the Natanz Nuclear Facility, which was previously bombed by the US in June last year.
The United Nations' nuclear watchdog confirmed there was damage but no radioactive consequences from the attack.
"Based on the latest available satellite imagery, IAEA can now confirm some recent damage to entrance buildings of Iran's underground Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant," the International Atomic Energy Agency said on X.
Tunnels collapsed at the Tabriz North Missile Base in Iran's north-west, and they were also targeted in the US attack in June.
