US Central Command announced that B-2 stealth bombers conducted strikes against Iranian military capabilities as part of Operation Epic Fury, which began in late February. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that Iran’s defense companies will soon be destroyed, marking a significant escalation in US military actions over Iran. The operation has reportedly resulted in approximately 1,300 Iranian casualties, including the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, while Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting US allies in the region, resulting in US service member fatalities.
