Lowest Daily Missile Count Reported in Conflict So Far

Pete Hegseth has announced a significant decline in Iranian missile and drone activity, as the United States intensifies its military campaign under Operation Epic Fury.

Providing an update one month into the operation, Hegseth said the past 24 hours recorded the lowest number of projectiles launched by Iran since the conflict began. The development signals a continued weakening of Iran’s offensive capabilities amid sustained US-led strikes.  

The US Secretary of War highlighted ongoing military gains, confirming that American forces recently destroyed another Iranian command bunker as part of the operation targeting critical infrastructure.

He also revealed the scale of recent air operations, noting that approximately 200 “dynamic strikes” were carried out in a single night, underscoring the intensity and precision of the ongoing campaign.

Operation Epic Fury, launched in late February, aims to dismantle Iran’s missile systems, military infrastructure, and broader defense capabilities. US officials have consistently stated that Iranian retaliatory capacity has been declining as strikes expand and key assets are eliminated.
