Operation Epic Fury: U.S. & Israel Strike Iran

U.S. and Israeli forces launched Operation Epic Fury, a major military strike against Iran targeting over 500 military sites. The operation included Tomahawk cruise missiles from Navy destroyers and submarines, as well as precision airstrikes from F-35C and F/A-18E/F aircraft. Targets included IRGC command centers, missile launch sites, radar, and air defenses. CENTCOM confirmed the use of low-cost one-way attack drones. In response, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles and armed drones, many of which were intercepted by U.S. and allied air defenses, including Patriot, THAAD, Aegis, Iron Dome, and Arrow systems. Missile activity was reported across Israel and Gulf states hosting U.S. forces.
