Operation Epic Fury, launched in late February 2026, is reported to be a joint U.S.-Israel military campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s missile, drone, and naval capabilities, particularly those threatening key shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
The developments come amid heightened tensions in West Asia, with the situation continuing to draw global attention due to its potential impact on regional stability and international energy supplies.
