In a striking demonstration of American resolve, President Donald J. Trump has launched Operation Epic Fury—a meticulously planned military initiative aimed at neutralizing the nuclear threat from Iran, dismantling its ballistic missile capabilities, disrupting its proxy terror networks, and significantly weakening its naval forces. This operation, executed in collaboration with regional allies, is a response to 47 years of Iranian hostility characterized by assaults on U.S. citizens, sponsorship of global terrorism, and the ruthless suppression of its own population.
