US Strikes Over 5,000 Targets in Iran Under “Operation Epic Fury”
Pentagon focuses on destroying missile systems and naval capabilities as conflict escalates in the Middle East.
A senior US military commander has outlined the key objectives of the ongoing conflict with Iran, emphasizing efforts to weaken the country’s missile and naval capabilities. The campaign, launched under the name Operation Epic Fury, aims to significantly reduce Iran’s ability to threaten regional stability.
According to US officials, in the first ten days of the conflict, American forces have struck more than 5,000 targets across Iran. The strikes have targeted missile installations, military bases, and strategic infrastructure linked to Iran’s defence network.
The operation has also focused heavily on Iran’s naval forces. US officials claim that over 50 Iranian naval vessels have either been damaged or destroyed during the attacks. These actions are intended to weaken the maritime capabilities of Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and limit its ability to disrupt regional waters.
Military officials stated that the strikes involve coordinated operations using air power, naval forces, and long-range missiles, allowing the United States to reach deep into Iran’s military infrastructure. The campaign is part of a broader effort to degrade Iran’s strategic military assets and prevent further escalation in the region.
The conflict has also begun affecting global trade routes. Tensions in the region have disrupted key shipping lanes, raising concerns among international observers about the impact on global energy supplies and maritime security.
Analysts warn that the continued escalation of hostilities could draw other regional actors into the conflict. With large-scale strikes continuing under Operation Epic Fury, the situation in the Middle East remains volatile and closely watched by the international community.
