The successes of Operation Epic Fury—including the degradation of Iran’s missile, drone, and air defense capabilities and the elimination the regime's leadership—have been made possible by close coordination between US and Israeli forces. Joint innovation in missile defense, advanced sensors, AI-enabled intelligence, and integrated battlefield systems has provided the operational edge required for complex missions.

And how will this partnership impact broader stability in the region?
