A cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz is hit by a projectile, catching the ship on fire as Iran launches another wave of attacks in the Middle East. In response to Operation Epic Fury.
Operation Epic Fury Update
On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, U.S. Central Command reports Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks “have dropped drastically” since the first 24 hours of Operation Epic Fury. Adm. Brad Cooper says Iranian forces still “continue to deliberately target innocent civilians in Gulf countries, while hiding behind their own people as they launch attacks from highly populated cities in Iran.”
President Donald Trump reports Iran’s leaders “are gone” and their military is crumbling under Operation Epic Fury.
“Our military is the best. It’s the most powerful in the world, and they’re hitting them very hard,” Trump states.
When asked what needed to be done for the operation to end, Trump says, “More of the same.”
“And we’ll see how that all comes out. Right now, they’ve lost their navy. They’ve lost their air force. They have no anti-aircraft apparatus at all. They hace no radar. Their leaders are gone and we could do a lot worse,” Trump continues to assert.
“We’re leaving certain things that if we take them out, or we could take them out by this afternoon, in fact, within an hour, they literally would never be able to build that country back again.”
“We have hit them harder than virtually any country in history has been hit, and we’re not finished yet,” he added.
Reportedly, Hezbollah and Iran launched a coordinated cluster bomb strike on Israel in a major escalation on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces began a wide-scale wave of strikes against the regime’s infrastructure across Iran. According to the IDF, Israeli forces are attacking Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut.
Multiple Iranian naval vessels have been eliminated by U.S. forces on Tuesday, including 16 minelayers close to the Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. Central Command. President Donald Trump states there were no reports of Iranian mines near the passageway. Still, he issues a warning, “if for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before.”
