New Delhi: 'Operation Epic Fury' is the code name for the ongoing strikes launched by the United States of America and Israel against Iran on Saturday. The attack comes just days after US President Donald Trump gave a 10-day ultimatum to Iran to finalise the nuclear deal.
President Donald Trump announced the operation against Iran via a video message, stating goals to eliminate imminent threats, destroy Iran's military capabilities and topple its government. The Pentagon officially called the operation ‘Operation Epic Fury’. Meanwhile, Israel called its part 'Operation Lion's Roar'.
The strikes follow months of planning amid tensions over Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missiles. Trump referenced prior US actions destroying Iranian nuclear sites last summer. Iran denies nuclear weapons pursuit, claiming civilian use.
