US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States military has commenced "large-scale and sustained" military operations against Iran in an official statement released today.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, the head of the White House emphasized that the primary objective of this military intervention is to destroy Iran's missile potential and completely dismantle the country's missile industry. The move follows escalating tensions in the region and is described by Washington as a necessary step to ensure global security and curb the proliferation of advanced weaponry.
As reported by the Xinhua agency from Washington, the operation is already in its active phase, with the process of striking designated targets currently underway. This development marks a significant shift in US foreign policy under the administration of US President Donald Trump, who has consistently advocated for a maximum pressure campaign against Tehran to prevent the development of ballistic missile technology and regional destabilization.
Historically, the relationship between Washington and Tehran has been characterized by decades of diplomatic friction and economic sanctions. This military action represents one of the most direct confrontations in recent years, following a series of maritime incidents and regional proxy conflicts. International observers are closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds, noting that the scale of the operation could have profound implications for global energy markets and Middle Eastern stability.
