The White House has issued a statement criticizing CNN's coverage of a U.S. military operation, which it refers to as "Operation Epic Fury." The statement accuses the network of presenting biased reporting that undermines the mission's success.
As of March 15, 2026, no major U.S. military operation publicly named "Operation Epic Fury" against Iran has been independently verified by official Department of Defense channels or international news agencies. The U.S. and Iran remain in a state of diplomatic tension, with no recent official reports of direct, large-scale military conflict between the two nations' conventional forces.
The White House statement reflects ongoing political tensions regarding media portrayal of national security and foreign policy. CNN has not issued a public response to this specific criticism as of this date.
