U.S. Special Ops Raids In Iran Is Worse Than You Think

About this video

Max analyzes a hypothetical 2026 military scenario he calls ‘Operation Epic Fury,’ describing potential uses of special operations forces and close air support aircraft in a conflict with Iran. He details how A-10 Warthogs, AC-130s, and special operations teams (SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force) might coordinate tactical operations around the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian strategic sites. Max frames this as a strategic analysis exercise, walking through aircraft capabilities, special operations tactics, and geopolitical leverage points in his hypothetical scenario.

Key takeaways

• Max describes close air support aircraft like the A-10 Warthog as ideally suited for protecting special operations teams during surgical missions, citing the GAU-8 cannon and low-altitude capabilities
• Max outlines how different special operations units—SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force, and Marine Recon—would have distinct tactical roles in his hypothetical scenario, from maritime interdiction to high-value targeting
• Max presents his analysis that limited-footprint special operations, backed by precision air support, could provide strategic leverage without requiring large-scale ground invasion in his scenario
