US, Israel Launch War on Iran
The US and Israel have started an aggressive war against Iran, and Tehran has retaliated with strikes against Israel and American military bases in the Middle East.
In a video posted to Truth Social early Saturday morning, President Donald Trump announced the beginning of military operations against Iran. Trump called on the Iranian people to rise up and seize power from their government. The President also stated that the war may result in American soldiers being killed.
An Israeli official said the goal of the war is regime change in Tehran. “The goal is to create all the conditions for the overthrow of the Iranian regime. We are targeting all of Iran’s political and military leadership – past, present, and future.” They continued, “The developments also depend on the question of how much the Iranian people will rise up.”
The Department of War has dubbed the attack on Iran Operation Epic Fury. US officials told Fox News that the strikes against Iran are expected to continue for days.
Kann News reports that Israeli strikes targeted the top political leadership of Iran, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian. Iranian state media has reported that Khamenei and Pezeshkian are unharmed. Trump said the US would completely destroy Iran’s missile program and navy.
