Trump announced the start of a large-scale US military operation against Iran

US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States has launched a large-scale military operation against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The corresponding video message was published by the head of the White House on his own account of the Truth Social social network. It says that the purpose of the war is to eliminate the threat from the "brutal Iranian regime."

"Our goal is to protect the American people by eliminating the immediate threat from the Iranian regime, a group of very cruel and terrible people. Their activities directly threaten the United States, our troops, our bases abroad and our allies around the world," Trump said.

He promised that the American strikes would completely destroy Iran's missile industry, as well as destroy the country's fleet, so that "the terrorist proxies of the region could no longer destabilize the region or the world."

In addition, Trump assured that it was in this military way that Washington was going to ensure a situation in which Tehran would not receive nuclear weapons.

"This regime will soon realize that no one should challenge the strength and power of the US Armed Forces," the US president threatened.

Earlier, EADaily reported that Israel attacked Tehran with missiles, assigning the name "Yehuda Shield" to the military operation for the attack. In Tel Aviv, they said that the operation was coordinated with the United States.
