US forces struck more than 13,000 targets in Iran, including most of the regime’s weapons factories and every attack drone production facility, as part of the “decisive military victory” achieved during Operation Epic Fury, according to the Pentagon.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force Gen. Dan Caine provided the detailed breakdown of the damage inflicted on the Iranian regime’s ability to project power during a briefing Wednesday, a day after President Trump announced a two-week cease-fire in the war that he hopes will lead to a lasting peace.
Operation Epic Fury: By the numbers
“By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran’s military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come,” Hegseth said. “You see, in less than 40 days, one of our combatant commands, Central Command, CENTCOM, using less than 10 percent of America’s total combat power, dismantled one of the world’s largest militaries.
“The world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism proved utterly incapable of defending itself, its people, or its territory.”
