Unclassified Footage Shows U.S. Forces Hunting Down Iran’s Ballistic Launchers

The U.S. military announced Monday that it has established air superiority over Iran and is actively targeting the regime’s remaining ballistic missile launchers as Tehran continues attacks across the region.

U.S. Central Command released unclassified footage showing American forces striking multiple Iranian missile launchers. While CENTCOM did not specify when the strikes occurred, it said U.S. forces “remain on the hunt to eliminate this threat” and emphasized that operations are ongoing.

“As the President has said, our resolve has never been stronger,” CENTCOM stated alongside the video release.

The footage came shortly after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth held a Pentagon press conference with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan “Raizin” Caine. Caine confirmed that the United States has achieved air superiority over Iran, a milestone that he said will enhance force protection and enable sustained operations inside Iranian territory.

The campaign follows the joint U.S.–Israeli operation that severely degraded Iran’s military infrastructure and eliminated several senior political and military figures, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response, Iran launched retaliatory missile attacks targeting U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. According to U.S. officials, at least four American service members were killed in a rocket strike on a base in Kuwait.

Iran has also fired missiles toward civilian infrastructure, including airports and residential areas, drawing condemnation from several Arab governments in the region.

Hegseth reiterated that the administration’s objective is the destruction of Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities, not regime change. He said the focus remains on eliminating threats to American forces and allies.

President Donald Trump defended the operation, known as “Operation Epic Fury,” calling it a necessary step to protect the United States and future generations.

“We’re undertaking this massive operation, not merely to ensure security for our own time and place, but for our children and their children just as our ancestors have done for us,” Trump said. “These actions are right and they are necessary to ensure that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons.”
