Iran is coming under increasing military and political pressure as Operation Epic Fury, the U.S.-led campaign conducted with Israel, continues to strike targets across the country. U.S. Central Command says the operation is aimed at dismantling Iran’s security apparatus and hitting locations considered an imminent threat, while public reporting indicates the campaign has already reached a wide range of military and government facilities.

According to CENTCOM, Operation Epic Fury was launched at the direction of the U.S. president and has involved a broad mix of military assets, including naval forces and long-range strike capabilities. The command has published footage showing Tomahawk missile launches and other support operations, underscoring the scale of the campaign. ABC News reported this week that nearly 2,000 targets across Iran had been struck by U.S. and Israeli forces, including ballistic missile infrastructure, command centers, naval assets, and military airfields.

The pressure on Tehran has also become a major subject in U.S. media coverage. Appearing on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Middle East Forum chief strategist and former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier Jim Hanson argued that the operation had put Iran in an increasingly difficult position, citing the pace of the strikes and the damage done to the country’s leadership and military networks. The Fox News segment centered on the progression of Operation Epic Fury and the strategic squeeze now facing Tehran.

Events on the ground appear to support that assessment. ABC reported that targets have included the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps headquarters, IRGC aerospace facilities, missile launchers, naval bases, and other key military sites. CENTCOM has also publicly highlighted naval actions and repeated strikes designed to degrade Iran’s ability to project force.

Even so, the campaign’s final outcome remains uncertain. While Operation Epic Fury is clearly increasing pressure on Iran, it is also widening a conflict that has already spilled across several fronts in the Middle East. For now, Tehran faces a combination of military losses, strategic isolation, and rising uncertainty over how long it can withstand the assault.
