U.S. Central Command – On March 9, 2026, U.S. forces conducted precision airstrikes targeting concealed Iranian missile launchers as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Black-and-white thermal imaging footage shows aerial views of rugged terrain, where crosshairs locked onto dark silhouettes of vehicles or structures partially hidden in caves, tunnels, or under camouflage.

Incoming munitions streaked downward, impacting the sites with bright flashes and producing plumes of smoke and debris that obscured the areas in the aftermath.

The grainy overhead sequences document three separate strikes on mobile ballistic missile platforms that U.S. officials say were used to threaten American forces and regional allies in the Middle East.

The video highlights U.S. surveillance and strike capabilities in locating and neutralizing buried or hidden launchers. Officials report a 90% reduction in Iranian missile attacks following the intensive bombing campaign, which included B-2 bombers dropping 2,000-pound munitions on hardened sites.

The poster described the operation: “The Iranian regime can try to hide their missile launchers, but U.S. forces won’t stop looking. When we find them, we’re taking them out.”
