Operation Epic Fury roared into action, with U.S. forces striking upwards of 2,000 Iranian positions, gutting missile stockpiles and naval infrastructure. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt lauded President Trump’s campaign as a masterstroke against Tehran’s belligerence.
Aimed at four fronts—missile elimination, naval demolition, proxy disruption, and nuclear denial—the operation has yielded dramatic results. Hundreds of ballistic assets and drones lie in ruins, Iranian firing rates down 86% from initial salvos.
The naval theater saw torpedoes ravage 20+ ships including Iran’s prized submarine Tuesday night. Persian Gulf arteries now flow unhindered by Iranian craft, a testament to operational dominance.
Elite Iranian cadre faced annihilation: 49 leaders, topped by Khamenei, felled in targeted raids. ‘This cleanses the region of terror’s architects, bolstering worldwide safety,’ Leavitt declared.
Six U.S. warriors made the ultimate sacrifice; their legacy endures as Trump honors them. 17,500 troops have redeployed stateside. Epic Fury’s success redefines deterrence, compelling Iran to recalibrate amid diminished capacities and international scrutiny.
