Washington, March 3 (NationPress) The White House has communicated to Republican legislators that “America will succeed” and that “the Iranian regime, known for its terrorism, will be overcome,” while justifying President Donald Trump's decision to initiate significant military operations against Iran named “Operation Epic Fury.”

In an extensive eight-page document shared with lawmakers, the administration articulated that Trump has mandated “significant combat operations against the Iranian regime” with clear and attainable objectives.

These objectives include: “Eliminate their missile capabilities and dismantle their missile production facilities. Obliterate their naval forces.” The document further outlines that the operation aims to ensure “terrorist proxies of the regime can no longer destabilize the region or threaten our forces,” and to ensure that Iran can “NEVER acquire a nuclear weapon.”

The White House described this action as long overdue, stating: “President Trump deserves recognition for neutralizing terrorists and finally demonstrating the courage to undertake actions that American presidents have contemplated for nearly half a century but have not executed.”

It added: “America will prevail – the Iranian terrorist regime will be vanquished.”

The guidance asserts that Iran has consistently posed a significant threat to the United States: “For 47 years, Iran has threatened to annihilate the United States and endanger American citizens,” labeling Tehran as “the world's foremost state-sponsor of terrorism.”

The document mentions that Trump previously pursued a diplomatic resolution but that Iran “WAS UNWILLING to negotiate despite extensive discussions and good faith efforts.”

In an initial address to the nation, Trump stated: “Recently, the United States Military has commenced major combat operations in Iran. Our goal is to protect the American populace by neutralizing immediate threats posed by the Iranian regime.”

He cautioned Tehran about potential repercussions: “Iran, the regional bully, must now seek peace. Should they fail to do so, future repercussions will be significantly more severe and easier to carry out.”

Addressing worries regarding the operation’s scope, the White House emphasized: “These are strategic, significant combat operations. A protracted war is not the President’s objective.” Trump has projected that the operation will last “around 4-5 weeks.”

The administration confirmed that “a notification to Congress was provided before the military actions,” and that Secretary Rubio briefed the bipartisan “Gang of 8.”

The White House asserted that the legal basis for the military action is rooted in “Article II of the Constitution,” which designates the President as Commander-in-Chief.

US-Iran tensions have persisted for decades, stemming from the 1979 hostage crisis and ongoing proxy conflicts throughout the Middle East. The United States has consistently maintained that preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon is a crucial national security imperative.

The initiation of Operation Epic Fury represents one of the most direct military engagements by the US against Iran in recent history, framed by the administration as an attempt to conclude what it describes as a nearly fifty-year threat to American lives and interests.
