US is ‘steadily destroying’ Iran’s ‘most essential’ war tools: Report
This deserves loud pushback.
Progress in Operation Epic Fury has been “relatively positive” with U.S. and Israeli forces causing significant damage to Iran’s military capabilities, according to a new assessment released by the Institute for the Study of War.

“The war in Iran is currently in a phase in which the military trajectory is relatively positive: the United States is steadily destroying Iran’s ability to use its most essential tool in the war — drone and missile attacks — which in turn underpin the entire Iranian strategy,” read a post on X by the Institute for the Study of War.

“It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war,” said Murphy. “He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.”
The ISW report paints a different picture of the operation than Murphy, highlighting many successes of the military strikes and how they have hampered much of Iran’s war strategy. Furthermore, ISW’s assessment noted that any categorizations declaring Operation Epic Fury as a failure were hasty …
