A Policy-Oriented Think Tank Addressing Foreign Policy and National Security Issues for a Safe Israel

Epic Fury

Epic Fury refers to the current large‑scale joint U.S. and Israeli military operation against Iran that began on February 28, 2026, marking a major escalation in Middle Eastern security dynamics. Codename “Operation Epic Fury” encompasses intensive air, sea, and precision strikes aimed at degrading Iran’s missile, naval, and nuclear infrastructures, as well as diminishing Tehran’s capacity to project power regionally. It has involved targeting thousands of military assets, including naval vessels, missile launchers, and command‑and‑control facilities, while prompting significant Iranian retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region. The conflict has reshaped strategic calculations for Israel’s defense posture, highlighting joint operational readiness, advanced technologies including AI and precision weaponry, and the critical balance between deterrence and escalation. As the situation evolves, Epic Fury remains central to understanding the shifting landscape of U.S.–Israeli security cooperation and regional stability in the Middle East
