U.S. President Donald Trump announced \u201cmajor combat operations\u201d against Iran, saying joint U.S.\u2013Israeli strikes aim to destroy Iran\u2019s missiles and stop its nuclear program. He warned Iranian forces to surrender for \u201ccomplete immunity\u201d or face \u201ccertain death,\u201d and called on citizens to overthrow their government.<\/p>\n
The campaign, called \u201cOperation Epic Fury,\u201d hit military and nuclear sites across Iran, including Tehran. Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, was reportedly killed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were meant to eliminate an \u201cexistential threat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iran responded with ballistic missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, and Jordan. Air defenses intercepted many, but casualties and damage occurred on both sides.<\/p>\n
Explosions have been reported across Iran, with hundreds killed or injured. Regional flights were widely canceled, and multiple countries closed their airspace.<\/p>\n
Critics warn the offensive could spark a broader regional war, increase civilian casualties, and deepen long-term instability.<\/p>\n
