CENTCOM's Task Force Scorpion Strike - for the first time in history - is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. These low-cost drones, modeled after Iran's Shahed drones, are now delivering American-made retribution.

- Ali Shamkhani, Security Adviser to Ali Khameini & Defence Council secretary.

- Mohammad Shirazi, Senior Head of the Supreme Leader's military bureau.

- Aziz Nasirzadeh, Defence Minister.

- Hossein Jabel Aamelian, the Head of the SPND.

The US military carried out nearly 900 US strikes in the first 12 hours of this operation, US defense official tells me. The strikes came “from land, air and sea and included drones.”
All the while “defending against 100s of incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.”

Iran has fired about 300 missiles today. They have 2000 long range missiles and 2000 shorter range missiles. They had built back up their arsenal since last summer.

In Bahrain at the 5th Fleet HQ the Iranians hit an “empty warehouse” and a Ray Dome - radar installation - the dome seen in the video from the strike. There are multiple redundancies and nothing that has happened has affected the mission, according to this official.

What is the goal/end state:
“Iran doesn’t have the capability to attack its neighbors: no drones, no missiles, no Navy.”

The US and its partners know where Iran’s highly enriched uranium is, but it is hard to get to.

Expect the operation to last “a couple of weeks.” But POTUS could decide to off ramp early if he chooses.

There are still a number of air defenses left, according to US official. Will take a few days to suppress.
