Operation Epic Fury destroys Iran's navy and cuts missile attacks by 90% in ongoing campaign

Operation Epic Fury targeted thousands of Iranian sites, causing an 86% reduction in ballistic missile launches, aiming to degrade Iran’s missile and drone capabilities, U.S. officials said.

  • Operational data show Iran’s missile launches are down 86% and drone strikes have fallen 73% from Saturday, according to The Washington Post.
  • Using ship- and submarine-fired Tomahawk cruise missiles, U.S. forces have achieved effects during Operation Epic Fury, according to official reports.
  • Footage released by Iranian state media shows a 'Missile City' with tunnels and large stockpiles of KheibarShekan, Ghadr H, Sejjil, and Emad missiles.
  • The Pentagon says as of March 2026 the U.S. faces a Tomahawk depletion crisis, raising questions about munitions sustainment for ongoing operations.
  • Facing depletion, commanders have shifted to lower-end precision-guided bombs as Tomahawk cruise missiles cost $2,000,000 each, according to social media posts and operational reports.
