New: An Air Force email shows the Pentagon instructing personnel to stop referring to ongoing U.S. military operations in Iran as "Operation Epic Fury" — 3 months declaring it had ended.

It's not clear why these service members are categorized under the operation that the Pentagon says ended in May. https://t.co/Dozfl0UpeP
