On Saturday morning I woke up to learn America and Israel had launched strikes on Iran. This came after around two months of the Iranian regime’s crackdown on its own people, killing tens of thousands. This also came after weeks of negotiations between the United States and Iran aimed at stopping Iran from murdering civilian protesters, curtailing Iran’s nuclear program, and limiting Iran’s missile development. These talks broke down a couple of days before operations against Iran were launched and after the U.S. had moved forces into the region. According to those familiar with the talk, Iran would not give up its nuclear program.
From the Central Command press release about “Operation Epic Fury”: “U.S. and partner forces began striking targets at 1:15 am ET to dismantle the Iranian regime’s security apparatus, prioritizing locations that posed an imminent threat. Targets included Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command and control facilities, Iranian air defense capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and military airfields…. Operation Epic Fury involves the largest regional concentration of American military firepower in a generation.”
