SHATTERING TEHRAN: Pentagon Unleashes Timeline of Iran’s Total Naval Collapse and Sky-High Superiority
The US Department of War releases a 10-day summary of Operation Epic Fury, detailing the destruction of the Iranian Navy and the achievement of air superiority over Tehran.
Following a press conference by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who clarified that the war will continue until Iran’s total defeat, the Department of War has released a new infographic detailing the progress and timeline of the campaign so far.
The strategic summary covers the first ten days of the operation, leading up to Hegseth's announcement that today will mark "the most intensive day of strikes yet" against Iranian targets.
Operation "Epic Fury": 10-Day Summary
* Opening Salvo (Feb 28 – March 1): The operation launched with heavy American missile barrages against selected targets. Within 24 hours, Israeli air superiority was achieved over the skies of Tehran.
* Aerial Escalation (March 2): US strategic bombers (B-52, B-1, and B-2) carried out massive "Bomber Pulses" across the country.
* Naval Theater (March 3 – 5): The Iranian Navy was completely pushed out of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. A US nuclear attack submarine (SSN) sank an Iranian warship, and an IRGC drone carrier (40,000 tons) was located and destroyed.
