Infrared footage captured by a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone reveals precise strikes on Iranian ballistic missile transporter-erector-launchers (TELs) using AGM-114 Hellfire missiles. The imagery shows multiple secondary explosions, indicating the successful detonation of ammunition and key components within the targeted vehicles.

These strikes are part of Operation Epic Fury, a coordinated U.S.-Israeli campaign launched on March 1, 2026, which has targeted over 1,000 Iranian sites to systematically degrade Tehran’s missile capabilities. The operation represents a continuation of joint military efforts to counter Iran’s regional aggression and reduce the threat posed by its ballistic missile program.

Officials have highlighted the precision of the MQ-9 Reaper drones as a critical component of the campaign, enabling targeted destruction of strategic assets while minimizing collateral damage. The footage underscores the operational effectiveness of U.S. and Israeli coordination in the region, reflecting a deliberate and methodical approach to weakening Iran’s missile infrastructure amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
