U.S. Launches 'Epic Fury' Strikes Against Iran, Pentagon Announces.
Operation 'Epic Fury'
According to Novyny.live: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced the start of a new American military operation against Iran, codenamed 'Epic Fury'. He described it as the most complex and lethal operation in history, initiated after Tehran reneged on the nuclear deal. Hegseth stated that the decision to launch was made on the orders of President Donald Trump. This action marks a significant escalation in the long-standing tensions between the two nations.
Pete Hegseth emphasized that Iran has been attacking Americans for nearly 50 years. He declared:
“Last night, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of Defense commenced Operation 'Epic Fury'—the deadliest, most complex, and most precise air operation in history.”He stated that the U.S. will not tolerate powerful missiles aimed at Americans. 'Those missiles will be destroyed, along with Iranian missile production. The Iranian fleet will be destroyed,' Hegseth added.
He further stressed:
“If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world—as Iran has done—we will hunt you down and kill you.”These statements underscore Washington's resolve in responding to threats emanating from Iran.
Consequences of the Operation
Operation 'Epic Fury' confirms an intensification of U.S. military strategy in the Middle East and demonstrates Washington's readiness to respond to national security threats. Iran's abandonment of the nuclear deal heightens tensions between the countries, and these new actions could have serious consequences for regional stability and for U.S. relations with its allies. Observers note that the 2015 nuclear deal, from which the U.S. withdrew in 2018, has been a persistent source of international friction. It will be crucial to monitor further developments, as this could lead to an escalation of the conflict or to new diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the crisis.
