How Long Could 'Operation Epic Fury' Last?

The Trump Administration says "Operation Epic Fury" is moving ahead of schedule in Iran after the U.S. and Israel launched military operations there, with over a thousand targets struck in the first 24 hours. From dismantling ballistic missile sites to neutralizing naval assets in the Strait of Hormuz, the objectives are clear—but can they be met in just one month? John Spencer, Executive Director of the Urban Warfare Institute and Chair of War Studies at the Madison Policy Forum, joins the Rundown to  discuss why this operation is unlike anything seen in modern warfare, and why he believes it can finally put an end to a 47-year conflict.The 2026 elections start today with the first primaries. Most of the focus is on Texas, where there are close contests in both parties for the U.S. Senate. For the Republicans, incumbent Senator John Cornyn is facing two challengers: Attorney General Ken Paxton and Congressman Wesley Hunt. Meanwhile, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and State Representative James Talarico are facing off to be the Democratic nominee in an attempt to flip Cornyn’s seat blue. Daron Shaw—a Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin, a Republican pollster, and a member of the FOX News Decision Desk—breaks down the high-profile and bitter race for the Senate, other key primary contests, and how the conflict in Iran could impact the midterms. Plus, commentary by Brian Kilmeade, co-host of FOX News Channel's FOX & Friends. Photo credit: Mohsen Ganji Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
