Operation Epic Fury: Friday the 13th Footage Drop from War Department

Описание: Operation Epic Fury is the code name for an ongoing, large-scale U.S. military campaign against Iran that began on February 28, 2026. Ordered by President Donald Trump, the operation involves joint air and missile strikes—coordinated with Israel's "Operation Roaring Lion"—targeting Iran's military infrastructure, leadership, and nuclear program.

Key Details (as of March 13, 2026)
Objectives: The mission is "laser-focused" on destroying Iran's offensive ballistic missiles, their missile production facilities, and their navy to permanently deny them nuclear weapons.

Scale: It represents the largest concentration of American military firepower in the Middle East in a generation, involving over 50,000 troops, two carrier strike groups (including the USS Gerald R. Ford), and strategic bombers.
Progress: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reports having struck over 5,500 targets inside Iran, including command centers, air defense systems, and naval vessels.

Casualties: As of March 13, at least 13 U.S. service members have died, following a recent refueling plane crash in Iraq. Initial Iranian retaliation also caused casualties at U.S. bases in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Cost: Estimates for the incremental cost of the operation currently range between $11.2 billion and $14.5 billion.

The operation has sparked significant debate, with supporters praising the "peace through strength" approach and critics warning of a potential "forever war" and humanitarian crisis.
