Iran War: US Rushes More F‑15, F‑35 Fighters As IRGC Hits Hard | Op Epic Fury Unleashes Pandora’s Box
The United States is rushing fresh squadrons of F‑15 and F‑35 fighters into the Iran war theatre as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) pounds US bases and regional allies with relentless missile and drone barrages, officials say. Operation “Epic Fury” has now morphed from a punishing air campaign into a full‑blown regional slugfest with no clear endgame.
Newly arrived F‑15E Strike Eagles and stealth F‑35s are dispersing across airfields in the UAE, Qatar and Jordan, tasked with hunting mobile missile launchers, drone swarms and fast‑attack boats that survived the opening US–Israeli onslaught. Pentagon planners argue that only high‑tempo, precision airpower can keep ahead of the IRGC’s “20th wave” of retaliatory strikes.
