US EditionWhich San Diego-Based Ships Played Key Roles in Operation Epic Fury?
Operation Epic Fury’s incremental cost is estimated between $11.2 billion and $14.5 billion, reflecting expenses for maritime, aviation assets, and munitions replacement, Pentagon sources say.
- CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper announced Wednesday that United States forces destroyed the last of four Iranian Soleimani-class warships, eliminating an entire class of ships during Operation Epic Fury.

- Forces from the United States and Israel have destroyed over 60 Iranian ships and struck more than 5,500 targets since the operation began, with CENTCOM conducting strike waves nearly every hour.

- The Department of Defense faces challenges funding this large contingency from existing resources, potentially requiring a supplemental request this summer and a 2026 budget reconciliation from Congress.
