US and Israel launch multi-day strikes on Iran under new operations

Tel Aviv: Israel has named its attack on Iran "Operation Roaring Line." Last June, Israel's attack on Iran was named "Rising Line." According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, Israel has announced that its new operation against Iran will be called "Roaring Lion." Meanwhile, the Pentagon said it has named the US operation against Iran "Epic Fury." Epic Fury means "extreme anger."

Trump has hinted that the attack on Iran aims to overthrow the government. He told the Iranian people, "When we're done, take over your government." US President Donald Trump has hinted that the ongoing attacks in Iran are aimed at overthrowing the government and urged the Iranian people to seize the opportunity and seize control of their government.

CNN, quoting US officials, reported that the US planned a multi-day attack, meaning the US knew the fighting would last for several days. In a video released shortly after the attack began, President Trump said that US forces were conducting "a very large and ongoing operation," referring to the attacks targeting Iran's military.

What is the purpose of 'Operation Roaring Line'?

Dismantling Iran's Nuclear Program - The primary objective of this attack is to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities and infrastructure, particularly its uranium enrichment centers, to prevent Iran from ever developing nuclear weapons.

• Dismantling Iran's Ballistic Missile Program - US President Donald Trump has stated that the aim of the attack is to "destroy" Iran's missile industry so that Iran can never attack Israeli and US targets.

• Preemptive Strike - In his initial reaction after the attack, Israel's Defense Minister described it as a "pre-emptive" strike, aimed at thwarting any potential major attack against Israel before it even begins.

• Destroying Iran's Navy - The US intends to completely destroy Iran's navy, as Donald Trump himself has announced. This is to eliminate Iran's dominance over the Persian Gulf and energy corridors.

• Ending Regional Hegemony - After breaking the backbone of Iran-backed proxy groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, both Israel and the United States now aim to eliminate Iran's regional influence by directly targeting its military power.

• Guaranteeing Security - The United States states that it is eliminating "imminent threats" to protect its citizens and allies. Donald Trump has clearly labeled Iran a threat to the United States and American citizens.

• Iran Disobeyed Conditions - The United States has stated that Iran refused to accept its conditions regarding nuclear weapons. The US President has stated that the Supreme Leader's army must either surrender or confront the US military. Experts say Trump is lying. Iran backed down from its nuclear bomb development, yet Trump attacked.

• Regime Change in Iran - Iran's Islamic government has been a thorn in the side of the US administration for years. Before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran was a remote-controlled monarchy under US leadership. But Supreme Leader Khamenei was in the camp of China and Russia. That is why Trump has talked about regime change in Iran.

• Destroying the Iranian IRGC - Israel has repeatedly described Iran's IRGC as a threat to itself. The aim of this attack is to permanently eliminate Iran's military and IRGC.

Stopping the funding of terrorist networks - Israel aims to destroy Iran's resources in the Gulf countries that fund proxy groups. Iran has several proxy organizations, such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and the Houthi rebels. Iran provides military and financial support to these. The aim of Operation Assad is to disrupt this supply chain.
