US CENTCOM Deploys B-52 Bombers for "Operation Epic Fury" Against Iran

The United States military continues its sustained assault on Iranian military infrastructure, with US Central Command (CENTCOM) releasing new footage early Sunday, March 15, of nighttime bombing operations. The strikes are officially proceeding under the framework of "Operation Epic Fury."

Khabar Fouri News, an Iranian breaking news channel tracking the conflict, reported that CENTCOM deployed US Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bombers for night missions as part of Operation Epic Fury.

The Saudi-owned network Al Arabiya Farsi, which maintains a staunchly anti-regime editorial stance, noted that CENTCOM released the video to demonstrate the continuation of US military strikes to destroy Iran's military capabilities. The network highlighted CENTCOM's statement accompanying the B-52 flight footage, emphasizing that US forces' attacks against Iran will continue to be "surprising, proactive, and decisive."

Similarly, Iran International, a prominent opposition-aligned outlet, covered the release of the B-52 footage on X (formerly Twitter). The channel quoted CENTCOM's explicit warning to Tehran: "Attacks by US forces against the Iranian government continue to be unpredictable, dynamic, and decisive."

These ongoing bomber missions follow an unprecedented wave of US and Israeli airstrikes between March 9 and 13 that heavily devastated the Islamic Republic's air defenses, naval forces, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facilities. The continuation of Operation Epic Fury comes amidst intense regional volatility, following US President Donald Trump's recent declaration that Iranian air and naval forces have been destroyed, and severe retaliatory threats from the IRGC to target Middle Eastern energy infrastructure.
