United States ruler Donald Trump said that he struck Iran a week early, and it prevented a nuclear war. Only eight months after bombing three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump once again put his finger on the trigger, preparing to attack the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program once again.
According to a report by Time Magazine, Trump said he assumed Iran was not urgent enough when it came to diplomatic talks with the U.S. “When I heard that,” Trump says, “I said, you know, they’re going to hit first.”
In the early hours of Saturday morning, February 28th, the start of the workweek in Tehran, Operation Epic Fury began.
American long-range missiles and drones moved in concert with Israeli jets, striking hundreds of Iranian military installations: missile batteries, naval vessels, air-defense systems, and command centers. It was one of the region’s most expansive air operations in decades. The bombardment killed Khamenei, who presided over a repressive regime for 36 years.

Also dead were a cluster of senior Iranian officials envisioned as potential successors. “I’ve killed all their leaders,” Trump says. “That room is gone.” The attacks also inflicted significant damage to civilian areas. In the far south of Iran, more than 150 people were killed when a barrage hit a girls’ school.
Not long after, Trump said that Iran actually bombed the school, even though reports show it was hit with a U.S. Tomahawk missile.

Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait.
When asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledged that that was a possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
After that admission, it seems a little hypocritical for Trump to accuse mainstream media outlets of “treason” for reporting on his war in a way he doesn’t like.
