US to dismantle Iranian missile infrastructure, White House confirms
WASHINGTON, DC: The White House announced on Tuesday, March 10, that the United States military has entered a new phase of its campaign, shifting focus to the systematic dismantlement of Iran’s missile production infrastructure.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt informed reporters that the mission, titled Operation Epic Fury, is achieving its military objectives at a pace exceeding initial expectations.
"Ten days in, this campaign has been a resounding success thus far," Leavitt stated during the daily briefing.
She emphasized that American forces are winning the engagement rapidly, citing high-level coordination and the effectiveness of precision strikes against key strategic assets across the region.

The administration revealed that US B-2 bombers have been deployed to strike hardened targets.
These aircraft recently dropped dozens of 2,000-pound penetrator bombs specifically designed to reach and destroy deeply buried missile sites. This escalation in firepower aims to permanently disable the regime's ability to manufacture and store long-range weaponry.
To date, the US military has struck more than 5,000 enemy targets.
These operations have not been limited to land-based assets; the White House confirmed that more than 50 Iranian naval vessels have also been destroyed as part of the effort to neutralize the regime's maritime capabilities.
Ballistic missile capabilities plummet significantly
According to the latest intelligence assessments shared by the Press Secretary, Iran’s offensive capabilities have been severely degraded.
Ballistic missile attacks originating from the country are reportedly down by more than 90%, while drone-led strikes have seen an approximate reduction of 85%.
The White House maintains that these figures are a testament to the success of the ongoing air and sea campaign.
By targeting the source of the production, the administration hopes to ensure that the "edifice" of the military security regime is unable to regenerate its stockpile during the remainder of the conflict.
Military victory ahead of anticipated schedule
Leavitt touted the speed of the operation, noting that "America's warriors are winning this important fight at an even faster pace than we anticipated."
As the mission moves forward, the administration remains focused on completing the dismantlement of the t****r-sponsoring state's military core.
While the White House has not yet provided a definitive end date, the messaging remains consistent: the mission will continue until the objective of a safer, missile-free region is fully realized.
