  • Here's what we're covering.

  • By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come.

  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign obliterated Iran's military capabilities.

  • And President Trump has claimed that Iran has, quote, nothing left in a military sense.

  • It shows Iran still has roughly 70 percent of its pre-war missile stockpile.

  • The country has also restored access to almost all of its missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz.
