Overview
- President Trump publicly confirmed U.S. participation in the operation, while Israel described its action as a pre-emptive strike under separate codenames announced by each country.
- U.S. Central Command later released video of Tomahawk launches, complementing open-source footage that appeared to show low‑flying cruise missiles en route to targets in Iran.
- Local reports said nuclear‑related facilities and administrative sites in and around Tehran were hit, though neither side provided official damage tallies.
- A U.S. official said warships fired Tomahawks and ground forces used HIMARS during Operation Epic Fury, without disclosing the number of missiles or specific targets.
- The U.S. had two carrier strike groups and more than a dozen additional warships positioned in the region, while fresh Tomahawk expenditures revived concerns over limited stockpiles even as RTX moves to boost production.
