Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command, just told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Operation Epic Fury has met every single military objective — and that Iran's forces have been "severely degraded" to the point where Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis are completely cut off from weapons resupply. In less than 40 days, the United States dismantled a terror network that's been terrorizing the Middle East for nearly half a century.

"Every objective met." Four words the Biden administration never got to string together about anything. Not the border. Not Afghanistan. Not inflation. Nothing.

Here's what Adm. Cooper told Congress: "In less than 40 days, CENTCOM forces achieved our military objectives." Ninety percent of Iran's defense industrial base has been destroyed. Ninety percent of their approximately 8,000 naval mines — gone, courtesy of over 700 airstrikes. Their drone capability? Down to 10% of what it was before the conflict. The command-and-control structure that ran their proxy terror network has been, in Cooper's word, "shattered."

And the Strait of Hormuz — you know, that little waterway where a huge chunk of the world's oil passes through? "The Iranian ability to stop commerce has been dramatically degraded," Cooper testified. Iran's navy will need 5 to 10 years just to rebuild its capabilities, and a full generation to get back to where they were before we flattened them.

Let's put this in perspective. Before Operation Epic Fury, Iran and its proxies launched over 350 attacks on U.S. troops and diplomats in just 30 months. That's roughly one attack every three days. For 47 years, as Cooper noted, "the Iranian regime has terrorized the region." And in less than six weeks, we broke them.

Sen. Tom Cotton characterized Iran as a "revolutionary terrorist regime" during the hearing. Cooper's response was two words that said everything: "They are."

Now, Cooper was honest enough to note that Iran still has what he called "nuisance capability" — some harassment, low-end drone attacks, cheap rockets. "But their voice is very loud," he added, meaning the mullahs will scream and posture even as they're picking through the rubble of their military infrastructure. Noise from a regime that just got its teeth kicked in. We've seen this movie before.

One detail that should make every American proud: Cooper revealed that the U.S. military adopted tactics and techniques passed along by Ukrainian forces. "The days of using high-value defenses to shoot down cheap targets are behind us," he said. We learned from the Ukrainians how to fight smart against swarms of drones, and then we applied those lessons to Iran's arsenal. That's how you win wars — you adapt, you innovate, and you hit so hard the other side needs a decade to recover.

President Trump, who put the ceasefire in place on April 7, has described that ceasefire as being on "massive life support" with negotiations stalled. Translation: we already won the military fight, and now the Iranians are trying to figure out how to come to the table without admitting they got humiliated.

This is the story the media should be leading every broadcast with, as reported by Breitbart. The most decisive American military campaign since the initial push into Iraq, wrapped up in under 40 days, every objective achieved, three terror networks severed from their sugar daddy in Tehran.

But sure, let's hear more about what Trump ordered at that restaurant in Beijing. That's clearly the bigger story.
