US President Donald Trump has given the go-ahead for massive military strikes against Iran, with Operation Epic Fury approved and no aborts planned. Cyber and space operations were used to degrade Iran’s ability to see, communicate, and respond. Breaking Defense reports that US forces have begun striking targets at a distance before moving to precision weapons like Joint Direct Attack Munitions and Hellfire missiles. The President has stated that the military operations could last for weeks. According to Pentagon data, dozens of 2,000-pound penetrator bombs were dropped on deeply buried ballistic missile launchers in just one hour. As the operation transitions to its next phase, the goal is to systematically dismantle Iran’s missile production capability for the future.
