“A war of aggression by the US and Israel is unacceptable under any circumstances,” the statement said.
The US named the attack on Iran operation ‘Epic Fury’. Reported NBC NewsUS Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the US military strike against Iran the deadliest, most complex and most precise air operation in history.
“The Iranian regime had a chance, but refused to make a deal – and now they are paying the consequences. For nearly fifty years, Iran has targeted and killed Americans, always seeking the world’s most powerful weapons to advance their radical goals. Last night, unlike previous presidents, President Trump began to treat this cancer,” Hegseth said in a post on X.
