How Trump decided to strike Iran

On Saturday, Operation Epic Fury began at 1:15 a.m. ET, striking Iran with B-2 stealth bombers, fighter jets, missiles and rockets while President Donald Trump oversaw from Mar‑a‑Lago.
After talks on Feb. 17 in Geneva failed, U.S. negotiators said Iran must forgo enrichment for 10 years, but Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi rejected offers, saying `we don't need any favors from you`. Trump issued a Feb. 19 deadline before ordering further measures.
Explosions in central Tehran signaled wide damage as hundreds of targets were hit, air‑raid sirens sounded in Israel, and an Iranian counterstrike in Kuwait killed three U.S. service members.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said the administration is prepared for more strikes, and Trump, in weekend statements, framed himself as a wartime president warning of more casualties, senior official said.
The strikes could reshape the Middle East over the long term as U.S. national security officials warned no assurances exist about post‑strike outcomes, and John Bolton said quick strikes might fail to overthrow the regime.
