Polling throughout the nearly three-week U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran has consistently shown near-unanimous backing for President Donald Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic Fury among the MAGA base and overwhelming support among Republicans, while a new Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday finds that a majority of likely voters overall say the operation has been succeeding.

President Donald Trump declared Monday that Iran’s military has been “literally obliterated” by the U.S.-led Operation Epic Fury campaign, while revealing that Iranian officials have been reaching out seeking a deal even as he questioned whether those making contact actually have the authority to negotiate on behalf of a regime whose leadership he says has been largely wiped out.

President Donald Trump said Saturday that Iran wants to end the conflict but that he is refusing to make a deal because “the terms aren’t good enough yet,” while signaling the United States could strike Kharg Island again and questioning whether the regime’s newly installed supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is even alive.

The military operation in Iran is now over two weeks old. While overnight U.S. attacks on the critical Kharg Island avoided striking Iranian oil facilities, the Islamist regime in Tehran continues to attack energy infrastructure throughout the Gulf region.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that the United States carried out what he described as “one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East,” declaring that U.S. forces “totally obliterated every MILITARY target” on Iran’s strategic Kharg Island — the regime’s so-called “crown jewel” and primary oil export hub — while warning Tehran its vital energy infrastructure could be targeted next if it interferes with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

All eyes turn to the international energy markets as multiple cargo ships were attacked in the critical Strait of Hormuz supply chain chokepoint off the coast of Iran, while leaders of the world’s major economies are set to meet later today to discuss the largest ever release of emergency oil reserves.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that Iran’s military power is “being systematically degraded and annihilated” as Operation Epic Fury entered its tenth day, declaring the campaign will end “on our timeline and at our choosing” while forcefully pushing back against suggestions it could devolve into another prolonged Middle East conflict.

President Donald Trump said Monday the war against Iran could end “very soon,” arguing that U.S. and Israeli forces have devastated the regime’s military capabilities while warning Tehran that any renewed aggression would trigger even harsher retaliation.

President Donald Trump is weighing options that could include deploying special operations forces into Iran to secure or destroy highly enriched uranium stockpiles as part of his pledge that Tehran “will not have a nuclear bomb,” according to multiple reports Saturday.

The United States expects to achieve its military objectives in Iran within “four to six weeks” and is already examining potential candidates to lead the country after the conflict, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday, as President Donald Trump reiterated there will be “no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.”

A laser is reportedly being deployed against Iran’s Islamic regime as the United States continues Operation Epic Fury.

The United States is “winning decisively, devastatingly, and without mercy” in Operation Epic Fury just four days into the campaign against Iran, according to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, who said Tehran’s missile, air, and naval capabilities are rapidly “evaporating.”

U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth praised Israel as a decisive partner in the American campaign against Iran.

U.S. and Israeli forces moved forward with their assault on Iran after intelligence confirmed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was meeting with senior advisers at a secure location, triggering the opening decapitation phase of what has become the largest joint U.S.-Israel military operation to date.

President Donald Trump said Saturday night he knows “exactly who” could replace Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei following his elimination in a joint U.S.-Israeli strike, asserting the removal of Tehran’s longtime ruler has materially shifted the diplomatic landscape.

A former senior Israeli commander warned that Iran could seek to arm its rapidly expanding ballistic missile arsenal — which already threatens Israel, U.S. bases, and allied interests across the region — with chemical or biological warheads, arguing that the “only viable option” may be a “massive” and “decisive” strike to bring down the regime as nuclear negotiations reach a critical juncture.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has activated wartime succession planning, empowering a hardline loyalist to oversee national security operations and ordering layered contingency measures to safeguard the regime amid fears of U.S. military strikes and assassination attempts.

U.S. military planning for potential strikes on Iran has entered what officials describe as an “advanced” phase, with options reportedly expanding beyond nuclear and missile infrastructure to include targeted decapitation strikes against senior regime figures — and with President Donald Trump said to be able to make a strike decision “at any moment.”

The U.S. military conducted airstrikes on three vessels allegedly operated by “designated terrorist organizations,” U.S. Southern Command announced on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump said Monday he will be “indirectly” involved in Tuesday’s high-stakes nuclear talks with Iran in Geneva, expressing confidence Tehran wants “to make a deal” while warning that he does not believe the regime wants “the consequences of not making a deal” as U.S. military forces continue building pressure across the Middle East.

President Donald Trump warned Iran that it would be “foolish” not to make a deal as a massive flotilla heads toward the region, with the United States again prepared to take “very tough” military action — including the possible dispatch of a second aircraft carrier strike group — if negotiations collapse.

Senior U.S. military officials warned key Middle East allies on Friday to prepare for a possible strike on Iran as multiple reports said Washington and Jerusalem now view military action as decided, with one source saying the only remaining question is timing, not whether an attack will occur.

President Trump spoke with Breitbart News about leftist media’s reaction to the new Melania documentary during the red carpet world premiere at the Trump-Kennedy Center.

President Donald Trump has been briefed on U.S. intelligence assessments describing Iran’s regime as being in its weakest position since the 1979 revolution, citing internal dissent, economic collapse, and growing instability, according to officials familiar with the briefings.

The religious director of the Muslim American Society’s New York youth center vowed open defiance of U.S. authorities, declaring it his “life mission” as a Muslim to fight against the American government, military, and federal immigration enforcement “to the last breath.”

A U.S. aircraft carrier strike force is now in the Central Command region of the Middle East, the news coming as Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has tried to violently end nationwide protests against this repressive regime.

Critics are denouncing Democrats in Virginia’s House of Delegates who have introduced a resolution that would establish a task force to probe the iconic Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and determine if the military college should continue to receive funding.

Iran’s judiciary declared it will “pursue” and “punish” President Donald Trump and leaders of the “Zionist regime” for “crimes” linked to fomenting protests, according to the Islamic Republic’s judiciary chief who accused Washington and Jerusalem of backing “terrorists.”

“The Iranian nation defeated the U.S.,” declared Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, insisting the U.S. must “be held accountable.”
