In a thunderous escalation, America unleashed Operation Epic Fury, pummeling more than 2,000 Iranian sites and shattering the regime’s missile and naval capabilities. White House officials touted the campaign’s triumphs, crediting President Donald Trump’s resolve for throttling Tehran’s threats.
Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt detailed the operation’s four pillars during a briefing: eradicating ballistic missiles, gutting the navy, weakening proxy militias, and blocking nuclear weaponization. Launched over the weekend, the strikes vaporized countless launchers, drones, and missiles, slashing Iranian attack rates by 86%.
Sea dominance flipped overnight. Torpedoes dispatched Iran’s elite submarine and a fleet of 20+ ships, clearing vital chokepoints like Hormuz Strait. ‘Iran’s naval activity in these waters has ground to a halt,’ Leavitt confirmed.
Leadership decapitation amplified the impact. Precision hits took out Supreme Leader Khamenei and 49 other senior figures, actions Leavitt called essential for global security. ‘These monsters threatened our allies; now they’re gone.’
Tragically, six American heroes perished. The nation mourns as Trump prepares to honor them, with 17,500 troops repatriated safely. Epic Fury not only neutralized immediate dangers but signals a new era of deterrence against rogue states, leaving Iran reeling and the world watching intently.
