Operation Epic Fury progresses beyond Day 7 with US confirmation of a submarine torpedoing the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena off Sri Lanka, confirming at least 80 killed and over 100 missing amid Sri Lankan rescue operations. IDF ground forces expand operations in southern Lebanon, advancing into Khiam and seizing additional positions while striking Hezbollah targets in Beirut. Iranian retaliatory strikes, including a recent missile hit on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, have resulted in six confirmed US fatalities across Gulf bases.

US Central Command reports over 1,700 targets struck in Iran within the first 72 hours of Operation Epic Fury, employing B-2 stealth bombers, B-1 bombers, and various munitions to destroy air defenses, ballistic missiles, and 17 Iranian naval vessels. A US Navy submarine sank the Moudge-class frigate IRIS Dena (75) approximately 40 nautical miles off Galle, Sri Lanka, with Defense Secretary Hegseth confirming the torpedo strike; Sri Lankan forces have rescued 32 survivors, but 80 are confirmed dead and over 100 missing. IDF troops have advanced from Kfar Kila and Khiam plains, capturing commanding heights and expanding a buffer zone in southern Lebanon, supported by airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut.
Iran's IRGC launched ballistic missiles at US facilities, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar (CENTCOM HQ) and a command center in Kuwait's Port Shuaiba, evading some defenses; six US soldiers have been killed, with names released. These actions signal degraded Iranian capabilities but heightened retaliation risks, with potential spillover to Gulf states hosting US forces and broader Hezbollah involvement in Lebanon, threatening regional stability and energy supplies.
Next steps likely include sustained coalition airstrikes and possible further IDF ground pushes; intelligence gaps persist on Iranian leadership losses and proxy mobilization.
