U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has released staggering figures detailing the ongoing American military campaign against the Iranian regime. Operation "Epic Fury," which began on February 28, 2026, under the direction of U.S. President Trump, has deployed an unprecedented scale of strategic air and naval power to dismantle Iran's military infrastructure.
By the Numbers: The Scale of Destruction
Since the start of the operation, U.S. forces have executed a relentless campaign targeting the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and national defense systems:
- Total Targets Hit: Over 9,000 military objectives across Iran.
- Naval Losses: More than 140 Iranian vessels have been damaged or destroyed.
- Sorties: Over 9,000 combat flights conducted to date.
- Key Objectives: Command and control centers, intelligence hubs, ballistic missile production sites, and UAV (drone) storage facilities.
Unprecedented Global Firepower
The U.S. has committed its premier strategic assets to the theater, creating a multi-layered net of air and sea dominance:
- Strategic Bombers: The "Big Three" are all active, the B-1 Lancer, B-52 Stratofortress, and the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
- Fighter Fleet: Air superiority is maintained by F-22 Raptors, F-35 Lightning IIs, and F-15s, supported by A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft.
- Support Systems: EA-18G Growlers (Electronic Warfare), U-2 spy planes, and E-2D Hawkeye (Command & Control) are coordinating the battlespace.
- Naval & Ground Assets: Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines are operating alongside guided-missile destroyers. On the ground, Patriot and THAAD air defense systems, along with HIMARS rocket artillery, provide a defensive and offensive umbrella.
Strategic Objectives
CENTCOM officials state the primary goal of the operation is the total dismantling of Iran’s security apparatus. Strikes have specifically focused on integrated air defense sites, deep-set underground bunkers, and military communication infrastructures to neutralize immediate threats to the region.
