Strikes are targeting Iranian missiles and naval capabilities, following U.S.-Israeli threats regarding Iran’s nuclear activities.”My administration has taken every possible step to minimise the risk to U.S. personnel in the region. Even so, the Iranian regime seeks to kill,” Trump stated in a video on Truth Social.
Tehran comes under attack from U.S. and Israel.
The U.S. military operation is called “EPIC FURY.” This marks the second series of strikes on Iran since Trump resumed office last year, with the first occurring in June targeting nuclear sites. The current offensive is expected to last several days, according to a U.S. official. Iran is preparing a strong retaliation.
In his communication, Trump urged members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard to surrender, offering them immunity.
He warned of “certain death” if they do not comply. Recent discussions between Washington and Tehran regarding Iran’s nuclear intentions resulted in no agreement.
Trump’s Encouragement
Trump previously suggested strikes during ongoing protests in Iran, advocating for U.S. assistance if authorities harmed demonstrators.
He encouraged protesters to continue their efforts, stating that the opportunity to claim their government back may not arise again for generations.
