CENTCOM Reports 'Undeniable Progress' in Fifth Week of Operation Epic Fury
U.S. Navy Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of CENTCOM, provided an operational assessment from the Middle East, declaring that Operation Epic Fury has systematically dismantled Iran's ability to project power. Cooper reported that the Iranian Navy and Air Force have been effectively grounded and their air defense systems largely destroyed. The campaign, now in its fifth week, focuses on dismantling the IRGC security apparatus and neutralizing imminent missile threats to U.S. and allied assets.
