Why did US attack Iran in joint strike with Israel? Trump shares goal behind ‘Operation Epic Fury’

In a recent escalation of military tensions in the Middle East, the United States, in coordination with Israel, launched a significant operation against Iran, termed 'Operation Epic Fury.' The offensive commenced early in the morning, utilizing Tomahawk cruise missiles and precision airstrikes from US military aircraft. This joint action marks a notable shift in US-Iran relations and is seen as a response to Iran’s ongoing military provocations and its role in regional instability. Former President Donald Trump has publicly commented on the operation, emphasizing its goal to curb Iran's influence and deter its aggressive actions in the region. The strike underscores the growing alliance between the US and Israel in countering perceived threats from Iran, which has been accused of supporting militant groups across the Middle East. This operation reflects broader geopolitical dynamics and raises questions about potential repercussions for international relations and security in the region. As the situation develops, analysts are closely monitoring the implications of this military engagement and its impact on both Iranian and regional stability.
