This week has delivered a series of positive results in the Epic Fury effort, playing out in Iran. The ceasefire is holding, Iran’s defense is reduced to a few stray button pushers in the fragmented military, the Iranian ports are on full lockdown, we have partnered with angry nations in the region to confiscate banking access, and we have just seen the news that the Strait of Hormuz is essentially open for commerce.
