India Today
A one-minute video released by the US Army shows key moments from the first 100 hours of Operation Epic Fury, a sweeping US–Israel military offensive against Iran.
The US Army on Thursday released a video showcasing the first “100 hours” of its ongoing military campaign, Operation Epic Fury, a sweeping joint offensive by the United States and Israel against Iran that has rapidly escalated tensions across the Middle East. The operation has already eliminated several senior Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and destroyed key military and government infrastructure.
The US Central Command, which is leading the operation, described it as “the most lethal and complex aerial operation ever undertaken.”
The one-minute video shows strikes on Iranian military and administrative targets, as well as US bombers and fighter jets taking off from aircraft carriers and carrying out combat operations.
It also includes footage of an attack on an Iranian Navy ship off the coast of Sri Lanka that reportedly killed more than 100 people and injured several others.
“The United States and its partners have launched Operation Epic Fury, the most lethal, most complex, and most precise aerial operation in history. Our military in the Middle East is undertaking an unprecedented operation to eliminate Iran's ability to threaten Americans as they've been doing for nearly half a century,” a background narration in the video said.
It added, “We are also sinking the Iranian navy, the entire navy. We didn't start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it. Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved.”
