No adversary is too determined, and no mission is too difficult for American troops who make up the world's most powerful military force.

Prior to Operation Epic Fury, the Iranian regime used the Karaj Surface-to-Surface Missile Plant to assemble ballistic missiles that threatened Americans, neighboring countries, and commercial shipping. The photo dated March 1, 2026, shows the plant prior to U.S. strikes. The image dated March 11, 2026, shows the same location after U.S. forces struck the facility with precision munitions.

Inside the heart of a U.S. Navy warship is a tactical nerve center where Sailors process and evaluate real-time information to provide a clear picture of the operational battlespace.

U.S. forces are destroying Iranian naval targets that threaten international shipping in and near the Strait of Hormuz.

There is no other military on earth that does sustainment and logistics like the U.S. military.

Operation Epic Fury stands as a reminder of what the United States military uniquely delivers: the ability to project power on a global scale with speed, surprise, precision, and overwhelming force when and where our nation requires it.

U.S. forces continue to neutralize threats posed by the Iranian regime.

Operation Epic Fury: March 18th Update

Every success we have begins and ends with our people.

Hours ago, U.S. forces successfully employed multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions on hardened Iranian missile sites along Iran’s coastline near the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian anti-ship cruise missiles in these sites posed a risk to international shipping in the strait.

U.S. Navy aviators have flown hundreds of combat flights during Operation Epic Fury, demonstrating America's unmatched ability to generate air dominance from the sea.

America's military capabilities and advantages are building.

U.S. forces continue to hunt and destroy Iranian targets that pose threats to Americans and Iran's neighbors.

Teamwork makes it ALL work aboard an aircraft carrier launching flight operations!

🚫 Iran's IRGC claims it recently destroyed several U.S. fighter jets based in the region using missiles and drones. LIE. ✅ No U.S. fighter jets have been struck by Iran. In fact, U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps fighter aircraft continue to demonstrate unmatched lethality and air superiority during strike waves into Iran. TRUTH.
