US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the initiation of “OPERATION EPIC FURY,” described as the most lethal aerial operation in history, in response to Iran’s refusal to negotiate. Hegseth emphasized Iran’s history of hostility towards the US, accusing them of targeting and killing Americans for decades. The operation aims to destroy powerful missiles targeting Americans, dismantle Iran’s missile production, and eliminate the Iranian navy.
The US government, under President Trump’s orders, initiated OPERATION EPIC FURY to address Iran’s provocations. Hegseth warned Tehran that any threats or harm to Americans would be met with a strong response. The operation, directed by the President, targeted key Iranian facilities, including command centers, air defense capabilities, and military airfields. US forces, including Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Guardians, and Coast Guardsmen, were actively engaged in the operation.
CENTCOM confirmed the commencement of the operation, focusing on dismantling Iran’s security apparatus and neutralizing imminent threats. The operation involved precision strikes using various platforms and innovative tactics, including the use of low-cost attack drones. Despite Iranian attempts to retaliate with missile and drone attacks, US installations reported minimal damage with no casualties. Operation Epic Fury signifies a significant deployment of American military power in the region, highlighting the ongoing campaign against Iran.
