US Central Command released new footage detailing Operation Epic Wrath, stating that hundreds of American aircraft are methodically dismantling the Iranian regime's air capabilities.
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has released new imagery and video footage detailing its ongoing military campaign against Iran, dubbed Operation Epic Wrath. According to Iran International, a major diaspora news network known for its staunch opposition to the Islamic Republic, CENTCOM announced that "hundreds of military aircraft continue to use devastating combat power against the Iranian regime". This announcement was similarly echoed by the Telegram channel کافه سیاست 🖤 (Politics Cafe), which highlighted the deployment of American fighter jets actively striking the regime ruling Iran.
The strikes appear heavily focused on crippling Iran's aerial defense and strike capabilities. العربیه فارسی (Al Arabiya Farsi), the Saudi-owned news outlet which maintains a strongly critical editorial stance against the Iranian government, reported on a CENTCOM video released early Thursday detailing the ongoing destruction of the Iranian air force. The outlet quoted CENTCOM directly, stating: "The Iranian regime is losing its air capacity day by day. US forces not only defend against Iran's threats, but methodically destroy them."
This specific messaging regarding the systematic dismantling of Iranian air power was also amplified by the breaking news aggregator اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری. Adopting a decidedly anti-regime framing aligned with the other outlets, the channel reported that American forces are regularly tearing apart Iran's military assets, emphasizing that the regime is rapidly losing its air capabilities in the face of the American offensive.
All monitored sources universally use the term 'regime' rather than 'government' and report the US military statements with an affirming tone. The channels reflect a uniform anti-Islamic Republic editorial stance, eagerly amplifying CENTCOM's narrative regarding the systematic degradation of Iranian military assets.
