The White House declared Operation Epic Fury a complete success within 38 days. By its own account, 85% of Iran's defence industrial base had been destroyed, its air force was grounded, and its path to nuclear weapons permanently closed.

Iran continued firing missiles at Gulf states anyway, during the campaign and after it ended, which is not what a neutralised missile arsenal is supposed to do.
