The U.S. and Israel have initiated a joint kinetic military campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran, striking Iranian military installations as part of Operation Epic Fury.
President Donald Trump made good on his promise to the Iranian people that "help was on the way," announcing his Mar-a-Lago residence at 2:57 am, calling the Iranian regime "a vicious group of very hard, terrible people."
"The United States Military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people
Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and their allies throughout the world.
For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people and many many countries..."-President Donald Trump
Earlier in the week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed the Trump administration's perception of the Iranian regime, outlining that Iran was still looking to get their nuclear program back on track.
"Iran poses a very great threat to the United States, and has for a very long time. They’re not enriching right now, but they’re trying to get to the point where they ultimately can," said Secretary Rubio.
Republican members of the U.S. Congress have also come out in support of the joint military action against Iran.
"We are with you, Mr. President. We will cut off the head of the snake of Muslim terror, Bring lasting peace to the Middle East, And save the Iranian People. Bombs away," stated Rep. Randy Fine, who has been on the frontline combatting antisemitism and denouncing radical Islam.
Rep. Cory Mills (R), who helped rescue Americans in Israel after the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023, and helped rescue a Texas family from Afghanistan after the botched Biden military withdrawal, spoke to CNN about how important it was to take out the Ayatollah and the individuals running the regime in Iran.
"The idea is to eliminate the head of the snake, which is the Ayatollah and even his son, and return it back to the people of Iran— look at a transitional government. The people of Iran are out in the streets right now protesting, losing their lives. We talk about 30-40 thousand people lost their lives I can assure you that number is far far higher, but they are not stopping, they're not backing down because they want their voices to be heard..." said Rep. Mills. "They want a free Iran. When diplomacy fails, and they don't respond to nice letters and what are our actual demands are, you have to be prepared with the build-up that we have to make these key precision strikes to eliminate the key individuals and return Iran back to the people as it was 47 years ago."
As expected, pro-Palestinian Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D) expressed her disdain for the joint military action against Iran, reposting former Obama administration official Ben Rhodes statement about the military operation.
"A war that has no domestic or international legal basis. A war that Americans do not support. A war in response to no imminent threat. A pointless war," stated Rhodes.
Rep. Tlaib also blamed the U.S. and Israel of killing students without having concrete proof that the school wasn't hit by Iranian munitions.
