The American military operation in Iran, “Epic Rage” as it is called, has failed.
The Islamic Republic of Iran and its army, regular and the IRGC the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, are continuously launching “epic” attacks, as the Americans would say, on sensitive American areas in the Persian Gulf, and it seems that Iran has no intention of stopping.
So far, 2 out of 3 American aircraft carriers have been hit, they have lost from 850 to 900 soldiers, all 13 American bases in the Persian Gulf were closed, and nearly 36 aircraft were lightly hit or shot down.
At the end of March 2026, the US Air Force lost a “flying radar”.
An aircraft equipped with the AWACS system, which is the “airborne warning and control system”.
The eyes, the ears, and the planning, of the US armed forces.
A possible replacement would cost between half a billion and seven hundred million dollars.
And when did this happen?
Iranian missiles shot down the American “epic” radar on 28 March, exactly one month after the US and Israel launched their unprovoked aggression against a sovereign state.
Epic rage has failed
The fog of war, a phrase often used, although inappropriately, in relation to American aggression, is supposedly not supposed to clear, making it “difficult to assess what is really happening”.
On the contrary, everything is crystal clear.
“Epic Rage” has failed to achieve its objectives.
There was no “mass popular uprising” to overthrow the “dark regime of the bloodthirsty Ayatollah”.
The leadership of the country was not decapitated.
The assassinated and dead Iranian politicians became martyrs, despite the fact that they had every opportunity to hide.
The vacant positions were immediately filled, which indicates both control at the highest levels of power and the fact that such a scenario, deaths as a result of attacks, was considered.
Therefore, contingency plans were developed.
The Americans suffered an epic failure
The Americans suffered a strategic, or rather, epic, failure in assessing the missile capability and firepower of the Iranians.
After more than a month of active attacks, Iran shows no sign of economizing either on its cruise missiles or its ballistic missiles.
Some estimate that they possess 38,000 missiles and attack drones and continue to manufacture missiles in underground cities.
The American camp is worried
Concern has arisen in the opposing American camp.
They claim that the arsenals are about to be depleted, if they have not already been.
And their restoration to their previous capacity will not take months, but many years.
And many additional billions of dollars.
The objectives may never be achieved and that the defense capability not only of the US itself, but also of NATO as a whole, has already been reduced to zero.
American generals warn of the worst
Reality teaches harsh lessons not only in the theater of military operations and not only in foreign policy, when the Americans are now being abandoned by those who, just a month ago, were ready to “kiss their ass”.
Reality is found amid the resignations that recently took place at the Pentagon.
The US Secretary of Defense essentially fired three senior Army officers.
One of them was Randy George, Chief of Staff of the US Army.
A four-star general.
A career soldier.
A graduate of West Point.
Four decades in the Army.
Why him?
Let us try to guess, not based on the interpretation given in the media, but guided only by common sense.
The army chief said... we will not win
The chief of staff in every army on the planet is responsible for planning military operations.
He is the one who knows, and knows thoroughly, what they have in their hands to fight.
And how much. And what their state of combat readiness is.
The dismissal of a senior officer, hastily and practically during a meeting, seems foolish.
Unless you assume that General Randy George told the head of the Pentagon what he thought about conducting an operation “on the spot”.
An uprising at the top of the Pentagon is certainly unnecessary for those who orchestrated the “Epic Rage” operation.
On the other hand, however, the triple dismissal is a sign that eliminating it will not be easy.
The aggression against Iran has been ongoing for 36 days.
Tehran, according to US plans, should already have surrendered.
Iran has won
But Iran has not only not lost, it has essentially defeated its opponents.
The state maintained control of all institutions, as well as exclusive command of the army.
The arsenals were not destroyed.
Moreover, no one knows the real number of missiles that were stored there.
Iran, despite the outcry of the Western press, has not closed the Strait of Hormuz.
Tankers pass through this waterway.
These are tankers from countries friendly to Iran.
Therefore, there are no violations of international navigation rules here either.
Iran is winning the information battle.
The “postcard” for the “return of the heirs of Ancient Persia to the Stone Age” was completely ridiculous
They simply outlined the borders of their state at that time.
Which existed and flourished.
The threat of escalation still exists.
But in battles, as we know from history, it is not the strongest or the richest who wins.
The one who seizes the initiative wins.
In a situation that seemed desperate, Iran seized the initiative and uses it as it sees fit.
And because the “Stone Age” of America has encountered such regression, it seems that it must reconsider the parable of David (Iran) and Goliath (US).
Before it is too late.
Before the situation, both internally and externally, gets completely out of control for America.
