Tehran, Iran – Black-and-white infrared footage shows precision U.S. airstrikes hitting multiple Iranian military targets, with crosshairs locking onto structures, vehicles, and installations in rugged terrain and open areas. Munitions impact with bright flashes, followed by plumes of smoke and debris that obscure the sites amid secondary explosions.

The clips, captured from high-altitude drones and aircraft, illustrate rapid destruction across different locations, with lingering thermal signatures from fires highlighting the scale of the attacks. Targets include command and control centers, air defense systems, ballistic missile sites, naval vessels, and airfields.

Released on March 16, 2026, the footage underscores Operation Epic Fury, part of ongoing U.S. efforts to degrade Iranian capabilities. Since the start of the 2026 Iran war on February 28, U.S. forces have struck more than 6,000 targets, aiming to neutralize threats and significantly reduce missile launches.

A spokesperson described the strikes as, “Thousands of Iranian military targets have been struck by U.S. forces to neutralize threats posed by the Iranian regime now and into the future.”
