U.S. CENTCOM launched self-defense strikes on Iranian mine-laying boats and missile launch sites near Bandar Abbas in the Strait of Hormuz on May 25, 2026 — while Secretary Rubio publicly stated a peace deal was “days away.” In this video: a former F-15E combat pilot breaks down exactly what got hit, what systems the U.S. likely used (F/A-18 Super Hornets, F-35C, EA-18G Growlers, HIMARS), how the SEAD package took out Iran’s Bavar-373 SAM system, and what the mine-laying operation reveals about the IRGC’s real negotiating posture. Plus: why Iran just ended its 87-day internet blackout after massacring protesters — and what that tells you about a regime running out of options.

These actions occurred while Secretary Rubio publicly indicated that a peace agreement was imminent within days. The video content features analysis from a former F-15E combat pilot regarding the specific targets engaged during Operation Epic Fury.
The overview details likely U.S. assets involved, including F/A-18 Super Hornets, F-35C fighters, EA-18G Growlers for electronic warfare, and HIMARS systems. Particular attention is given to how a SEAD package neutralized Iran's Bavar-373 surface-to-air missile system. The footage also examines the mine-laying operation itself as an indicator of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' actual negotiating stance during this period in 2026.
