The U.S., Israel, and Iran have been engaged in Operation Epic Fury, with the conflict escalating as Iran lashes out at neighbors and tankers, while Hezbollah launches missiles from Lebanon. The U.K. is sending its HMS Dragon and Wildcat helicopters, armed with drone-busting Martlet missiles, into the Eastern Mediterranean. The first time the United States has used LUCAS attack drones, which are similar to Iran's deadly delta-winged Shahed. The Pentagon also revealed that the U.N. has used "tens of thousands" of pieces of ordnance in its campaign against Iran. The conflict continues to grow, with predictions suggesting weeks or more.
