The U.S. is calling it Operation Epic Fury. Iran is calling it Operation True Promise 4.
Why 4? Because this is the fourth time that Iran has responded to an attack from Israel and the U.S. in the last two years. At no time in the last year has Iran struck first.
Operation True Promise I started in April of 2024 after Israel struck an Iranian consulate in Damascus and killed Iranian officials. Iran retaliated with a missile strike in Israel.
Operation True Promise II began in October of 2024 after Israel targeted Iranian commander Abbas Nilforoushan and his family in their home inside Iran. Iran fired missiles back over Israel, aimed at military bases and infrastructure.
Operation True Promise III is also referred to as the 12-Day War. It began in June of 2025 after Israel struck Iranian military targets and the U.S. followed up with bombers. We were assured that Iran’s “nuclear program” was demolished and Iran responded with a barrage of missile attacks over Israel.
Operation True Promise IV, well, you’re living through it. It began after the U.S. and Israel struck a civilian school of young girls inside of Iran, killing at least 150 children. The rest is our current hell.
Are you noticing a pattern here? War Secretary Pete Hegseth said this weekend that “the United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it.” False. The U.S. and Israel together unequivocally started this war.
The U.S. military has confirmed at least three deaths from Iranian bombs and President Trump says that, “sadly, there will likely be more” because the U.S. is protecting all of civilization.
“They have waged war against civilization itself.”
Review the timeline. They waged nothing. We did that. Our traitorous government. Don’t let them rewrite what the timeline clearly shows. American soldiers will die in the war of aggression that the American people do not want and cannot stop. What we absolutely can do is keep a firm grasp of our reality. Once they can shape what we can clearly see with our own eyes, we are truly in 1984 territory.
