… of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

… cycle of terror and violence with the Iranian Regime planning and paying for the killing of Americans through their many proxy groups.

Multiple U.S. Presidents were duped by the Iranian Regime and ended up *giving* them billions of dollars in cash, credit and sanctions relief. Their naive diplomacy fueled the Regime’s continued violence - with enough money to keep doing it for decades.

Donald Trump is rightly focused on protecting Americans from this Regime. If there’s one thing we know about our President it is that his credible threats should be taken seriously - he said he wanted to solve this issue peacefully but would take action if necessary. He was very clear.

I am thankful we have a President who takes the time to launch serious diplomatic efforts before making the hard and necessary decisions to protect Americans.

US Forces Launch Operation Epic Fury

U.S. Central Command

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) commenced Operation Epic Fury, Feb. 28, at the direction of the President of the United States. U.S. and partner forces began striking targets at 1:15 am ET to dismantle the Iranian regime’s security apparatus, prioritizing locations that posed an imminent threat. Targets included Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command and control facilities, Iranian air defense capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and military airfields.

“The President ordered bold action, and our brave Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Guardians, and Coast Guardsmen are answering the call,” said Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM.

Following the initial wave of U.S. and partner strikes, CENTCOM forces successfully defended against hundreds of Iranian missile and drone attacks. There have been no reports of U.S. casualties or combat-related injuries. Damage to U.S. installations was minimal and has not impacted operations.

The first hours of the operation included precision munitions launched from air, land, and sea.

Additionally, CENTCOM’s Task Force Scorpion Strike employed low-cost one-way attack drones for the first time in combat.

Operation Epic Fury involves the largest regional concentration of American military firepower in a generation.
