Operation "Epic Fury": A Systemic Analysis of the Tripartite Conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran and the Implications for Global Security (2026)
Abstract: This study analyzes the escalation marked by Operation "Epic Fury" through a systemic and multidisciplinary framework. It examines the structural drivers of the conflict, the performance of integrated air defense systems against fifth-generation platforms, and the implications of deep-penetration strike capabilities. Using a mixed methodology that combines open-source intelligence assessment, systems engineering modeling, and energy market elasticity analysis, the research evaluates both military effectiveness and global economic repercussions. The findings suggest a significant transformation in regional deterrence dynamics and highlight the interconnected security and energy risks associated with high-intensity interstate conflict in the Middle East.
