The United States Department of Defense has officially announced the name of the new military offensive being carried out against Iran.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that in a statement shared on the Pentagon's official account on the X social network, the operation has been named “Epic Fury”.
On the morning of February 28, US and Israeli military forces launched strikes against targets in several strategic cities across Iran, including the capital, Tehran. According to reports, explosions have been recorded primarily in the vicinity of military and administrative facilities. Officials in Washington and Tel Aviv have stated that the primary objective of this operation is to facilitate a change in the current leadership in Iran.
US President Donald Trump has confirmed the commencement of the large-scale military operation. Currently, tensions in the region have reached a peak, and military operations are reported to be ongoing.
The escalation follows months of heightened geopolitical friction in the Middle East, involving concerns over regional security and strategic stability. Military analysts note that an operation of this scale, involving coordinated strikes by US and allied forces, represents a significant shift in the regional security architecture. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely as the military campaign progresses across various Iranian provinces.
