_WHAT’S HAPPENING_
Early Saturday, President Trump released a video statement announcing that the United States and Israel commenced strikes on the Iranian Regime. The operation, named Operation Epic Fury, is intended to fully decapitate the Iranian government and have it replaced, presumably with Western-friendly leadership.
Within 24 hours, Israel and the US have jointly taken out multiple heads of the Iranian regime, including the Supreme Leader. This operation has been months in the making, with American and Israeli intelligence tracking Iran’s top leadership. The Trump administration is reportedly planning several waves of strikes, offering off-ramps along the way.
In the weeks and months to come, we will get a clearer picture of the operation's success and of the regime that will follow.
