The photos released by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) show the US armed forces in the Epic Fury during an operation in Iran.
A joint operation between the United States and Israel, which was launched on February 28 by the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after his death, in response to attacks on targets with an American presence in the region, has been going on for more than a month.
Since then, the U.S. military has coordinated precision strikes against Iranian bases, weapons depots, and logistics centers using cruise missiles, airborne aircraft, reconnaissance and attack drones, and strengthened missile defenses to protect troops and allies.
According to the Pentagon, it is Epic Fury The main objectives of the operation are to suppress the activities of terrorist groups in Iran, protect trade routes, and respond to direct threats against American forces and interests.
In recent interviews, US President Donald Trump he said the conflict with Iran could end “within two to three weeks” and supported an intensive strike strategy to quickly neutralize an adversary’s military capabilities.
But the statement contradicts assessments by analysts and officials interviewed by the press, which point to a more complex situation. Despite the first weeks of bombing and naval operations by CENTCOM, Iranian forces and allied groups continue to carry out attacks in the region.
Recent reports also indicate an increase in the cost of the operation, which is already estimated at tens of billions of dollars, as well as the loss of American soldiers. The economic and logistical impacts extend beyond the battlefield to maritime trade and the global oil market.
