Iranian Foreign Ministry Says “the Time Has Come to Defend the Homeland” After US and Israeli Attacks

  • On Saturday, the United States launched major combat operations in Iran, with President Donald Trump announcing a coordinated attack called Operation Epic Fury across multiple targets.
  • Following failed negotiations, U.S. and Israeli forces launched strikes after U.S. leaders said the operation aimed to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from Iran, with recent talks unsuccessful.
  • U.S. forces launched Tomahawk missiles and deployed one‑way attack drones targeting IRGC high‑value sites, including underground facilities tied to Iran's nuclear program.
  • Both chambers are expected to hold votes on War Powers measures this coming week, with House Democrats led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries planning to force a vote and Sen. Tim Kaine urging the U.S. Senate to act immediately.
  • U.S. officials pointed to a decades-long record of proxy attacks and the 444-day U.S. embassy hostage crisis, while Iranians in exile in Turkey closely followed and welcomed the strikes despite internet blackouts.
