The United States has executed a large-scale military operation against Iran after months of deliberation, with Israel joining in on the strikes. The operation is characterized by an analysis suggesting that the U.S. objectives include the removal of key Iranian leadership and the collapse of the Islamic Republic's system. President Donald Trump announced intentions to obliterate Iran's missile capabilities, claiming the U.S. would not tolerate Iran's nuclear ambitions and urging Iranian citizens to seize control of their government post-operation.

In a coordinated offensive early on the 28th, U.S. forces targeted several major Iranian cities, including Tehran and Qom, under the codename 'Epic Fury.' In response, Iran launched missile attacks against U.S. military bases in allied states such as Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE, which were reported by Iranian state-affiliated media. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard also initiated its own significant strikes toward Israel, indicating the potential for escalating conflict in the region. Air raid sirens were triggered in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, showcasing the immediate repercussions of the U.S.-Israeli operation.

This military escalation raises severe concerns about regional stability, as the conflict risks engulfing neighboring nations and exacerbating tensions throughout the Middle East. As both sides engage in retaliatory actions, the implications for international relations and security dynamics in the region are profound, with possible long-term repercussions for U.S. foreign policy and its alliances in the Middle East.
