Operation Epic Fury could be coming to an end, President Donald Trump hinted on Friday.
President Trump posted a March 20 statement on TruthSocial affirming that the United States is getting close to meeting its goals with the joint U.S.-Israel operation against the terrorist Iranian regime. The president also discussed some future plans regarding the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
“We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran,” Trump began. He then provided a list of those objectives, starting with, “Completely degrading Iranian Missile Capability, Launchers, and everything else pertaining to them.”
Second, Trump went on, the joint operation with Israel aimed at “[d]estroying Iran’s Defense Industrial Base,” followed by “[e]liminating their Navy and Air Force, including Anti Aircraft Weaponry.”
U.S. Central Command has shared multiple videos of successful strikes in these areas, including the one below:

Fourth, according to Trump, the operation against Iran’s Islamic regime aimed to ensure it would never, ever “get even close to Nuclear Capability, [while] always being in a position where the U.S.A. can quickly and powerfully react to such a situation, should it take place.” Last, Trump hopes to be “[p]rotecting, at the highest level, our Middle Eastern Allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others.”
With more than a dozen Americans dead, Democrat propaganda constantly churning out accusations, and a rising surge of antisemitism and pro-terrorist sentiment, it isn’t a surprise that the Trump administration is trying to determine an end date for Operation Epic Fury.

The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not! If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The Donald is waging psychological warfare on his enemies again. This is a headfake.

It likely isnt winding down, unless they are ready for the next stage of the Iranian military taking control and the people controlling streets.
Winding down means readying the lash for a final whoop-azz winding up.
Agreed...awaiting the final top-popping of the whoop-ass-—47 years overdue.
For a very well-reasoned but thoroughly pessimistic view of the war in Iran:
Has Iran agreed to stop fighting? I’d love to see a clean ending to this but it won’t happen. We’re stuck in the mud.
Doesn't our so called intelligent agencies know where the uranium is stored?
No other country wants to participate in this madness. The Strait of Hormuz cannot be secured without controlling the surrounding shorelines and mountainous regions. We don’t have the manpower for that, and our military has struggled with mountainous guerrilla warfare. Did we learn anything from Afghanistan? Even the Russians learned the hard way, and we tried and failed as well. We attempted regime change;it didn’t work and now it’s time to leave before we have to build another memorial in Washington, D.C., for our fallen.
These countries don’t have the time to build the military capacity needed to secure and maintain the Strait of Hormuz,this is a time critical situation. The world consumes roughly 100 million barrels of oil per day, with the U.S. accounting for a significant share. The longer the strait remains closed, the greater the risk of a global energy shock, followed by disruptions to fertilizer supply and food production. There is no clear military solution, and the U.S. may ultimately have to step back. What’s at stake is the stability of the petrodollar system and, with it, a major part of our economic way of life
You leave one cancer cell behind in the organ after the surgery and that cancer will metastasize and come back when a Democrat administration takes over.They won’t do it while Trump is there. But, you can bet on it once they have access to full oil revenues during the next Dem presidential administration when they will have free reign to rebuild their nuke program as sure as the gates for illegal immigration will be reopened.
What happened to unconditional surrender? Trump needs to shut his pie hole.
Agreed. It should not wind down until military capabilities to project outside their borders and the inventories and infrastructure to support them are eradicated.
