US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that America has ended its campaign of continuous military attacks inside Iran. He has announced that Operation Epic Fury has achieved its objective after months of struggle. Appearing before US lawmakers on Wednesday (June 3), Rubio said that Washington is no longer carrying out continuous attacks aimed at weakening Iran’s military capabilities.

He said that we are no longer carrying out continuous attacks to weaken Iran’s military because the ‘Epic Fury’ campaign has ended. Rubio argued that the campaign had succeeded in destroying large portions of Iran’s defense-industrial base as well as significantly reducing their missile launchers and drone stockpiles.

US-Iran ceasefire fragile
These comments of Marco Rubio have come at a time when despite sporadic violence in the Gulf region, a fragile ceasefire remains in place between America and Iran. In the latest development, an Iranian drone attacked Kuwait’s international airport, damaging a passenger terminal and killing an Indian citizen. Apart from this, dozens of other people have been injured. Due to this attack, the airport had to be closed for some time and concerns increased again about the security of those Gulf countries, which earlier considered themselves away from this conflict.

The US-Iran tension, which has entered its fourth month, has also increased pressure on global energy markets. Iran maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital sea route for oil and gas exports, while the US has imposed an embargo on Iranian ports.

What did Rubio say about Barack Obama?
Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson said President Donald Trump is working with allies to restore maritime traffic, calling it the last step needed to bring the situation under control. Rubio also tried to assure lawmakers that diplomatic efforts with Tehran are also active.

Referring to the 2015 nuclear deal signed during Barack Obama’s tenure, Rubio said that any future deal will be more stringent. He said that whatever agreement we make will be a tough agreement, or there will be no agreement.

America has made it clear that the process of selling arms to Taiwan has nothing to do with the ongoing war with Iran. A reliable source said that the sale of arms to Taiwan has been an ongoing process for many years and should not be linked to the Iran war. Recently, a senior US official had said that there is a delay in the supply of weapons to Taiwan because America needs ammunition on a large scale for the ongoing Operation Epic Fury against Iran, but now this claim has been rejected.

According to sources, America has enough arms, ammunition and military stocks to fulfill all the strategic goals of President Donald Trump. He said the arms sales process often takes several years and is part of the normal process.

Concern increased due to Trump’s statement

President Donald Trump recently said after meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping that he has not yet decided on the package for selling arms to Taiwan. After his statement, concern increased in Taiwan. Taiwan has been waiting for an arms package worth about $14 billion from America for a long time.

China continues to protest

China considers Taiwan as its part and has been continuously opposing America’s sale of arms to Taiwan. On the other hand, America is committed to providing Taiwan with the necessary weapons and assistance for its security under the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979. The US government has said that there has been no change in its policy regarding Taiwan.

What did Taiwan say?

The Taiwan government said on Friday that it has not received any official information from America regarding any delay in arms sales. At the same time, China is continuously pressurizing America to stop selling arms to Taiwan. Taiwan says that its future will be decided by its people themselves.

Big issue of US-China tension

The issue of Taiwan has been a major cause of tension between America and China for a long time. On one hand, America supports Taiwan’s security, while on the other hand, China sees it as its internal matter. This matter has become even more sensitive amid the Iran war and increasing tension with China. It is believed that President Trump may soon take a final decision on the Taiwan arms package.

‘Plan-B’ ready, what will Trump do if talks with Iran fail? JD Vance made a big revelation

The war that started after the attacks by America and Israel on Iran has now passed more than two months, but there are no signs of its ending. In this war, while America was dreaming of a change of power by putting pressure on Iran, Iran is still not ready to bow down. Now a new report has come out regarding this war, in which it has been claimed that America has suffered huge military and economic losses in this war.

Big revelation in American research report

According to the report of ‘Congressional Research Service’ or CRS, the official research wing of the US Parliament, the US Army has suffered huge losses in the military campaign ‘Operation Epic Fury’ conducted against Iran. According to the report, at least 42 American fighter planes, Reaper drones and other military aircraft have been either completely destroyed or seriously damaged in the war.

Big loss in American military history

The report says that after the Vietnam and Iraq wars, this is the first time that America has suffered the loss of such modern and expensive aircraft in a war. CRS has prepared these figures on the basis of US Defense Ministry, Central Command and intelligence reports.

Iran shot down 24 Reaper drones

According to the report, America’s most dangerous and modern ‘Reaper drone’ became an easy target for Iran in this war. It has been claimed that Iran has shot down 24 Reaper drones of America during the war.

F-15E and stealth fighter jet were also destroyed

The report says that the world’s most advanced fifth generation stealth fighter jet has also been damaged in this war. Apart from this, 4 F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets of America have also been damaged.

Refueler aircraft and high-tech drones also on target

Iran also targeted 7 large refueler planes that deliver fuel to fighter planes in the air. Apart from this, 1 ground-attack aircraft, 1 E-3 Sentry AWACS, 2 special operations aircraft, 1 rescue helicopter and 1 high-tech spy drone MQ-4C Triton are also included in the list of losses.

War expenditure reached Rs 2.4 lakh crore

This war has also had a direct impact on the American treasury. On May 12, during the hearing of the ‘House Appropriations Subcommittee’ of the US Parliament, Pentagon’s Acting Controller Jules W. Hurst III said that the estimated expenditure of the ongoing military operations in Iran has increased to $ 29 billion i.e. about Rs 2.4 lakh crore. He said that this huge expenditure is being spent on repairing destroyed military equipment, fighter jets and drones and purchasing new equipment.

US Military Action: US President Donald Trump returned from China tour on Friday. With his return, he faces a big decision regarding Iran. America can now take military action again amid the ongoing tension over Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the report of American newspaper The New York Times, Trump’s senior advisors have prepared a new plan for possible military action. The report says that if President Trump feels that diplomacy has completely failed, then America may soon start military attacks on Iran again. It was told that Pentagon officials are preparing to restart “Operation Epic Fury”. This operation was stopped after Trump declared a ceasefire last month. Now it can be started again with a new name.

Trump rejects Iran’s peace proposal

However, till now President Trump has not taken the final decision. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One while returning from Beijing, he rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal. Trump said, “I look at the proposal and if I don’t like the first line, I throw it out.”

Iran issue also raised in meeting with Xi Jinping

Trump also confirmed that the issue of Iran came up in his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. However, he said that he did not make any request to China to put pressure on Iran.

Strait of Hormuz is important for China

According to the report, China is a major strategic partner of Iran and is heavily dependent on oil and gas supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. For this reason, many countries are trying to reach an agreement to end this crisis and reopen this sea route to Iran.

America wants diplomatic victory

The report says that officials of many countries are trying to make such an agreement so that Trump can present it as a diplomatic victory. Its purpose is also to assure American voters that America will not get trapped in a long and costly war. However, the situation still remains tense. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a statement to Congress this week, “We have a plan ready to escalate the conflict if needed.” He also said that America has a plan to reduce military deployment and gradually withdraw more than 50 thousand American soldiers present in the Middle East. According to the report, American and Israeli officials are preparing for possible new attacks on Iran next week. Two Middle East officials have described it as the “biggest preparation” since the ceasefire came into effect.

America’s Trump administration announced sanctions on three Chinese companies on May 8. These companies are accused of providing satellite images to Iran, which were used in attacks on US military and allied targets in the Middle East. This action is said to be related to the incidents that took place during Operation ‘Epic Fury’.

The US State Department said, “Providing Iran with satellite images of US bases in the Middle East is a threat to the security of US and allied troops. Targeting US troops and allies will be responded to.”

Which companies were banned?

The scope of the sanctions includes Hangzhou-based company Meientropy Technology Company, also known as MizarVision. America alleges that this company had released open-source satellite photos, which contained information about American military activities during Operation ‘Epic Fury’. Apart from this, Beijing-based ‘The Earth Eye’ company is accused of providing satellite images directly to Iran. Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company has been accused of collecting satellite images of American and allied military bases at the request of Iran.

Allegations have already been made

America told that sanctions have already been imposed on ‘Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company’. At that time, there were allegations that the company had provided satellite images to Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen to target American military bases.

Action also taken against Iran’s defense export center

The US State Department has also imposed sanctions on ‘Mindex’, the export arm of Iran’s Defense Ministry and Armed Forces Logistics Ministry. The State Department said, “The United States will continue to take action to hold accountable China-based entities that are supporting Iran, and to ensure that Iran is unable to rebuild its sensitive military and nuclear programs after Operation ‘Epic Fury’.”

Crackdown on people associated with drone and missile programs

Meanwhile, the US Treasury Department has also announced sanctions on 10 institutions and individuals. They are accused of helping Iran in providing weapons and raw materials, which were being used in drone and ballistic missile programs. The scope of these sanctions includes citizens and companies of China, Iran, Belarus and United Arab Emirates.

America warned of further action

The US Treasury Department said that Washington is committed to breaking the procurement network that supports Iran’s military programs. The department said that action will continue against foreign organizations that promote Iran’s military activities in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions. The US also said that these new sanctions are a step towards further strengthening the ‘snapback’ sanctions imposed on Iran by the UN Security Council last year.

Iran Missile Attack: Iran fired missiles towards Israel on Thursday. The attack took place immediately after US President Donald Trump’s warning message to the nation on Operation Epic Fury. Trump had given Iran an ultimatum to stop firing and reach a compromise.

The Israeli army said that its air defense system is active to respond to the Iranian missile attack. The army said that we have identified missiles fired from Iran towards the Israeli border and this was the third time that a missile was fired in less than three hours. The defense system is working to stop the attack. France Press Agency reported that air raid sirens sounded in northern Israel, but so far there has been no news of any injuries or any damage.

Trump threatened

In his speech, Trump said that Iran will face very tough action in the next two to three weeks and will be taken to the Stone Age. Trump said, “All the preparations we have done so far are on the way to completion. Very soon we will take very strict action against Iran. In the next two-three weeks we will send them back to their original place i.e. Stone Age. There is no change in our goal, but there has been a political change after the death of their prominent leader. We never said that we wanted to change the regime, but the change happened.”

Trump further warned that “if there is no agreement within this period, we will take very strong action against all their power generation centers at once.” The war between America and Iran started on 28 February. On this day, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in sudden air strikes by America and Israel. America named this action Operation Epic Fury, while Israel called it Operation Roaring Lion.

Iran US war News: Tension is at its peak in the Middle East. On one hand Benjamin Netanyahu is continuously talking about attacks, while on the other hand Donald Trump is claiming talks with Iran. But the surprising thing is that Iran has completely rejected the news of these talks. In such a situation, the situation seems to be getting more complicated.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday evening that he had spoken to Trump today. According to him, Trump believes that on the basis of the great success achieved by working together with the American army, the objective of the war can now be achieved through an agreement.

Benjamin Netanyahu said this

The Israeli Prime Minister said that there should be an agreement that fully protects Israel’s essential interests. But at the same time Netanyahu made it clear that the attacks have not stopped. Israel is continuously striking in Iran and Lebanon. Missile and nuclear programs are being targeted. He also said that heavy losses are being inflicted on Hezbollah. A few days ago, two more nuclear scientists were also claimed to have been killed. In the end he said that Israel will protect its interests under any circumstances.

Trump had claimed to have talked

Meanwhile, Trump said that there have been “good and productive talks” with Iran in the last two days. He gave this statement during the operation which is being called Operation Epic Fury. On Monday morning, a few hours before the markets opened, Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social. He said that Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure will not be attacked for five days while the talks continue. Earlier, Trump had threatened that if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz, these bases will be completely destroyed.

‘There was no discussion’

Contrary to Trump’s claims, Iran clearly said that no such talks took place. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote on social media platform X that no talks have taken place with America. He said that all this is “fake news”, which is being used to influence the financial and oil markets. He also alleged that such things are being spread to get out of the difficult situation in which America and Israel are stuck.

Iran US War News: An important turning point has emerged in the plan to attack Iran between America and Israel. According to the report, 48 hours before the American attack on Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called President Donald Trump. Netanyahu said that now is the right time to launch a decisive attack on Iran’s leadership team.

Netanyahu said this

Reuters report states that the Trump administration had already agreed to the idea of ​​military action on Iran, but the timing and scale of the attack had not been decided. Citing new intelligence, Netanyahu said that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his close associates should be targeted. He called it a “decapitation strike” and said that perhaps there would never be such an opportunity to kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Netanyahu described it as necessary both strategically and symbolically and encouraged Trump to justify it.

Trump had already approved the operation

According to the report, at the time of the call, Trump had already agreed to the idea of ​​military action, but it had not been decided when and under what circumstances the attack would take place. This call by Netanyahu is being considered as the final argument and it is believed that it helped Trump in taking the decision to launch Operation Epic Fury. According to Reuters report, new intelligence and pressure from Netanyahu played an important role in deciding the timing and strategy of the attack.

The first attack took place on 28 February

The first attack took place on 28 February. After this Trump announced that Khamenei was killed. The White House said that the purpose of the operation was to destroy Iran’s ballistic missile and production capacity, so that Iran could never make nuclear weapons. Netanyahu publicly denied that Israel pressured America into war. He called it fake news and said that no one tells Trump what to do. Trump also said that the final decision to attack Iran was his own.
