The United States and Israel have launched a massive, coordinated military campaign against Iran, targeting hundreds of military sites and top leadership in an operation dubbed 'Epic Fury' by the US and 'Roaring Lion' by Israel.
This marks an unprecedented level of military cooperation between the two allies, with over 50,000 US troops and 200 jets involved, and has received strong backing from retired US military leaders and the Israeli public. The strikes aim to degrade Iran's military capabilities and potentially trigger regime change, while also shifting the regional balance of power. The conflict has already escalated across the region, with concerns about broader instability and the involvement of other actors.
Analysts say this war could reshape alliances and security dynamics in the Middle East for years to come.
