U.S. forces announced on April 8, 2026 that Operation Epic Fury, launched on Feb. 28, had achieved all objectives set by President Donald J. Trump. According to the Department of War, more than 1,500 air‑defense sites, 800 missile‑storage facilities and a majority of Iranian naval vessels were destroyed in 38 days of combat. Iranian officials agreed to a ceasefire, to allow two‑week safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and to discuss abandoning a nuclear weapons program. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the joint force had “functionally destroyed” Iran’s missile program and destroyed the majority of its defense industrial base. The U.S. military remains in the region and prepared to resume operations if ordered.
