WASHINGTON, D.C. March 30, 2026 – The White House reported significant military successes in Operation Epic Fury today, stating that U.S. forces have struck more than 11,000 targets in Iran, sharply degrading the regime’s offensive capabilities.
In a video briefing posted on X (formerly Twitter), White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared that the operation — now in its 30th day — is “moving ahead successfully and according to plan.”
Key highlights from the briefing include:
– ran’s ballistic missile and drone attacks reduced by 90% compared to the start of the operation.
– 150 Iranian naval vessels destroyed, including 92% of the regime’s largest ships, rendering the Iranian Navy “combat ineffective” with no vessels operating in major regional waterways.
– Nearly 70% of Iran’s missile, drone, and naval production facilities and shipyards damaged or destroyed.
– U.S.-Israeli joint forces now control the skies over Iran after completing more than 11,000 successful combat flights.
“Operation Epic Fury is destroying the threat posed by the Iranian terrorist regime,” the official White House account stated on X, echoing the Press Secretary’s remarks.
Launched on or around February 28, 2026, under President Donald J. Trump, the operation aims to eliminate Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal and production capacity, dismantle its navy, disrupt support for terrorist proxies, and prevent the regime from developing nuclear weapons. The campaign is being conducted in close coordination with Israel.
The White House emphasized that the strikes are creating “more leverage for the United States and our allies” while continuing to intensify each day.
This marks one of the most extensive U.S. military operations in the Middle East in recent decades. The Pentagon has previously estimated the primary objectives could be achieved within four to six weeks.
The announcement comes amid ongoing global attention to the conflict, which has already impacted energy markets and international shipping routes.
