Washington Signals Swift Timeline for Iran Operation

US official said that achievable objectives of Operation Epic Fury are expected to last about six weeks. The White House says it expects U.S. military objectives in Iran to be achieved within four to six weeks , emphasizing that Operation Epic Fury is progressing as planned. According to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the campaign has already weakened Iran’s naval capabilities and sharply reduced missile attacks, putting the U.S. “well on its way” toward its strategic goals.  The operation, now in its second week, focuses on dismantling Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure, degrading its navy, and limiting its pathway to nuclear weapons. Officials maintain that U.S. stockpiles and resources are sufficient to sustain the mission through its projected timeline.  As regional tensions escalate, Washington continues to frame the operation as both achievable and time‑bound, reinforcing its confidence in meeting objectives by early April.

U.S. Stock Futures Steady After Cooler Inflation Data

                                             

U.S. stock futures showed resilience in premarket trading, paring earlier losses following a cooler-than-expected inflation report. The March Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 2.4% year-over-year, below the anticipated 2.6%, while the core CPI, excluding food and energy, increased by 2.8%, compared to estimates of 3%. 

This data has bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve may stay on course to reduce interest rates later this year. At 8:31 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 1.06%, S&P 500 E-minis fell 1.44%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis dropped 1.81%. 

The report also highlighted a slight monthly decline of 0.1% in inflation, signaling a potential easing of price pressures. Investors remain cautiously optimistic as they assess the implications for monetary policy and market stability.
