US EditionIran War: What Military Assets Did the US Employ in the First 72 Hours?
Operation Epic Fury executed over 1,700 strikes, neutralizing 200+ air-defense systems and degrading Iran's nuclear infrastructure amid concerns over leadership vacuum.
- U.S.-Led strikes began at 1:15 a.m. Saturday, with more than 1,700 conducted in 72 hours, targeting Iran’s military and nuclear sites, according to U.S. Central Command.
- Aimed at preventing a nuclear breakout and catalyzing regime change, Epic Fury was launched to end the regime and reduce the regional threat, but the Trump administration has not detailed any political off-ramp.
- Over the first 48 hours, more than 200 air-defense systems were hit, and 50 percent of missile launchers were destroyed, despite IRGC launching 270-plus missiles and drones in retaliation.
- Tactical success leaves unclear strategic questions as the reported death of Iran’s Supreme Leader raises succession risks, analysts warn, and the uranium stockpile location remains unknown.
- If the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps consolidates power, analysts say clandestine programs may accelerate, reducing IAEA access and risking unsecured materials falling to non-state actors.
