Trump threatens Iran with 'severe' strikes, confirms 'Epic Rage' operation nearing decisive phase

US President Donald Trump affirmed his country's continuation in implementing its military strategy against Iran, emphasizing that the operation named 'Epic Rage' will not stop until all strategic objectives are achieved. Trump clarified in a speech to the nation that American forces have succeeded in destroying large parts of Iran's capabilities, considering that the most difficult phase of the confrontation has already ended.

Sources reported that the US administration believes that the objectives related to neutralizing Iran's missile arsenal and production facilities are on the verge of full completion. The US President indicated that the Iranian naval forces have been annihilated, ensuring the security of the region from threats that Tehran posed to international navigation, and preventing it from possessing nuclear weapons forever.

In a new escalation, Trump threatened to launch devastating strikes targeting the power generation and electricity network across Iranian territory if an agreement satisfactory to Washington is not reached. Trump described the next phase as 'extremely severe,' noting that operations could continue for an additional two to three weeks to ensure complete surrender.

According to informed sources, Trump is adopting a hardline rhetoric aimed at pressuring the Iranian regime to accept American conditions unconditionally. His statements included a threat to return Iran to the 'Stone Age,' referring to the extent of destruction expected to be inflicted on infrastructure and services if Iran continues to reject American demands.

Domestically, recent opinion polls conducted by international institutions showed that the current war does not enjoy widespread support among American voters, especially independents. A poll indicated that about 60 percent of citizens oppose the continuation of the armed conflict, while 66 percent demand a rapid end to military involvement to avoid further losses.

Despite these popular pressures, US military movements continue to escalate, with field reports confirming that thousands of additional troops are en route to the Gulf region. These movements reflect the White House's desire to keep all military options on the table, including the option of full-scale escalation if field necessity dictates.

In a related context, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically denied Trump's claims regarding Tehran's request for a ceasefire, describing them as false narratives. The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry affirmed that his country had not requested any truce, emphasizing the steadfastness of Iranian forces in the face of what he described as continuous American aggression for more than a month.

For his part, JD Vance, the US Vice President, entered the crisis by sending firm messages to Tehran, warning that the US administration's patience was running out. Vance held talks with international mediators to discuss the repercussions of the conflict, stressing that pressure on Iranian infrastructure would double if Iranian behavior in the Strait of Hormuz did not change.

Reports indicate that Trump is simultaneously considering options for de-escalation and conditional withdrawal, having hinted at the possibility of ending the war even if Iran refuses to fully open the Strait of Hormuz. However, his next steps remain shrouded in mystery, as some of his advisors believe that the President sometimes tends to shift attention to pressing domestic issues.

In an unprecedented move, Trump visited the US Supreme Court to attend discussions on immigration policies and citizenship restrictions, which observers considered an attempt to demonstrate control over domestic issues despite his preoccupation with the war. This is the first time a sitting US president has directly attended such judicial deliberations.

Upon his return to the White House, Trump stated that the administration was 'on the verge of ending' military action, but added that it would require 'a few more strikes' to ensure a decisive outcome. These statements coincide with continuous air raid sirens in the occupied territories, indicating an expansion of security tensions associated with this regional conflict.

Through this campaign, the United States seeks to impose a new geopolitical reality that fundamentally ends Iranian influence in the region, according to the view of conservatives in Washington. However, field challenges and growing popular opposition within America may force the administration to seek a political exit that saves face in the coming weeks.

Trump also hinted at the possibility of reconsidering US commitments to NATO, linking it to the extent of allies' cooperation in the Strait of Hormuz crisis. This approach reflects Trump's desire to exert dual pressure on adversaries and allies alike to ensure the achievement of his 'America First' vision in energy and global security matters.

In conclusion, the scene in the Middle East remains open to all possibilities, between Trump's threats of 'Stone Age' strikes and Iran's denial of making any concessions. International circles await what the coming days will bring, especially with the approaching deadline set by the White House to evaluate the results of the 'Epic Rage' operation.

We will strike them very severely in the next two or three weeks, and we will return them to the Stone Age where they belong.
