U.S. Sinks 30 Iranian Vessels in Eighth Day of Joint Strikes with Israel
Operation Epic Fury, launched February 28 with Israel, has seen over 1,700 U.S. strikes sink more than 30 Iranian naval vessels, cripple air defenses, and target nuclear sites after killing Supreme Leader Khamenei. The campaign aims to dismantle Iran's nuclear and missile programs while fostering regime change, with Trump offering immunity to defectors amid reports of IRGC no-shows. A probe continues into the deadliest incident—a February 28 strike on a girls' school near an IRGC base that Iranian officials say killed 165-186, mostly children—as the White House denies deliberate targeting and Congress backs ongoing operations.
