US Central Command Conducts Historic Drone Strikes Against Iran

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that its forces have carried out swarming drone attacks targeting deep within Iran as part of the ongoing "Operation Epic Fury."

These operations mark a significant historical precedent, as CENTCOM began employing low-cost, unmanned aerial systems in combat operations approximately one month ago, signifying a shift in military tactics.

In a statement, Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM, explained that "hundreds of American drones are now fully integrated into offensive and defensive operations directed against Iran."

Cooper further elaborated that these platforms are operational across various domains, including air, sea, underwater, and land, with the objective of supporting U.S. military objectives.
