Earlier, CENTCOM released videos of “Operation Epic Fury” after the US and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran, killing the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and captioned it as, “The Iranian regime was warned. CENTCOM is now delivering swift and decisive action as directed.”

In another post, CENTCOM said that its forces were delivering an “overwhelming and unrelenting blow” to Iran.

“As the President stated, our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. The President ordered bold action. CENTCOM forces are delivering an overwhelming and unrelenting blow,” CENTCOM said.

‘Iran ignored Washington’s warning,’ says Trump

US President Donald Trump, in his address during the Medal of Honour ceremony at the White House on Monday, said that Iran ignored Washington’s warning not to restart its nuclear program and added that America’s objectives in the conflict are “clear” which includes destroying Tehran’s nuclear capabilities, ending its nuclear ambitions and wrecking its navy.

“Iran refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons,” said Trump referring to Tehran ignoring White House’s warnings with respect to their nuclear program.

The US president added that Iran “can’t continue to arm, fund and direct terrorist armies outside their borders.”

He set an initial projection of four-five weeks and said that the mission is “substantially ahead” of time. He added that the US has the “capability to go far longer.”
