The Office of Communications : Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, the United States Armed Forces are executing Operation Epic Fury with unparalleled precision, overwhelming power, and relentless effectiveness. With crushing dominance and devastating force, our warfighters are systematically dismantling the Iranian regime’s ability to ever again threaten America, our allies, and global security.
Today, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine provided an update from the Pentagon on the extraordinary progress of Operation Epic Fury and the unrelenting strength of America’s warriors:
“Thus far, Operation Epic Fury has delivered twice the air power of ‘Shock and Awe’ of Iraq in 2003… We are accelerating, not decelerating. Iran’s capabilities are evaporating by the hour, while American strength grows fiercer, smarter, and utterly dominant.” (Watch)
“Iran’s theater ballistic missile shots fired are down 86% from the first day of fighting, with a 23% decrease just in the last 24 hours — and their one-way attack drone shots are down 73% from the opening days.” (Watch)
“Starting last night, and to be completed in a few days in under a week, the two most powerful Air Forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies.” (Watch)
“In the Indian Ocean, an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo, Quiet Death — the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.” (Watch)
“The leader of the unit who attempted to assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed. Iran tried to kill President Trump — and President Trump got the last laugh.” (Watch)
“Iran’s senior leaders are dead. The so-called ‘Governing Council’ that might have selected a successor? Dead, missing, or cowering in bunkers, too terrified to even occupy the same room. Senior generals, mid-level officers, enlisted ranks — they can’t talk or coordinate, let alone mount a coordinated and sustained offensive… The Iranian Air Force is no more. Built for 1996; destroyed in 2026. The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.” (Watch)
On X, U.S. Central Command highlights the sheer dominance of America’s military:
“In a historic first, long-range Precision Strike Missiles (PrSMs) were used in combat during Operation Epic Fury, providing an unrivaled deep strike capability.” (Watch)
“While the Iranian regime indiscriminately targets civilians with missiles and drones, U.S. forces continue to aggressively hunt and destroy Iranian missile launchers with precision.” (Watch)
“The Iranian regime’s killer drones have been a menace in the Middle East for years. These drones are no longer a tolerable risk.” (Watch)
“U.S. forces have struck or sunk to the bottom of the ocean more than 20 ships from the Iranian regime. Last night, CENTCOM added a Soleimani-class warship to the list.” (Watch)
