The Department of Defense has reported striking its 10,000th target since the bombing started almost four weeks ago
US Central Command released its fifth update on Operation Epic Fury claiming the campaign remains “on plan or ahead of plan” in achieving what it described as “very clear military objectives” – even as the scope and ultimate goals of the operation remain subject to interpretation.
Adm. Brad Cooper announced that US forces have struck more than 10,000 Iranian targets, destroyed 92% of the Iranian Navy’s largest vessels, and damaged over two-thirds of Iran’s missile, drone, and naval production facilities.
But while the admiral framed the campaign as a mission to eliminate Iran’s ability to “project power in meaningful ways outside its borders,” the precise benchmarks for success – and what would constitute an end to the operation – remain undefined.
