Regime Change is Not in Operation Epic Fury’s Objective List

White House outlined the Trump administration’s goals with Operation Epic Fury, but nowhere it mentions regime change. 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that Operation Epic Fury has four key objectives. 

“At the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, launched last weekend, President Trump laid out clear objectives to the American people on what the U.S. military seeks to accomplish through these major combat operations. Number one, destroy the regime’s deadly ballistic missiles and completely raze their missile industry to the ground,” Leavitt said. 

“Number two, annihilate the Iranian regime’s navy. And so far, we have destroyed more than 20 Iranian ships, including their top submarine last night, using a torpedo for the first time since World War II. There is not a single Iranian ship underway in the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz or the Gulf of Oman,” she continued. 

“Number three, Operation Epic Fury will ensure the regime’s terrorist proxies in the region can no longer destabilize the region or the free world and attack our armed forces. And thus far, Iran’s proxies are hardly putting up a fight,” Leavitt added. 

“Number four, this mission will guarantee that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon,” Leavitt also said. “It’s safe to say that thus far, Operation Epic Fury has been a resounding success.”  

Iran-war has stepped into Day-5, with over 50,000 troops having been deployed in the joint operation with Israel’s Lion’s Roar – which neither has the “regime change” option.
