US President Declares ‘Major Combat Operations’ in Iran
In a statement posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, US President Donald Trump has declared “major combat operations” against Iran. The announcement comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to reports, Tehran has confirmed Khamenei’s passing and is responding with retaliatory measures. The situation has sparked concerns about a potential escalation of conflict in the region.
The declaration of “major combat operations” bears similarities to the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The term was used by President George W Bush at the time to describe the start of military action against Saddam Hussein’s regime.
Details surrounding Trump’s statement are still emerging, but it is clear that the situation has significant implications for regional stability and global security. Further developments will be reported as more information becomes available.
