Operation Epic Fury

COMMON SENSE: Launched during daylight hours, OPERATION EPIC FURY’s goal is not to destroy Iran’s nuclear capability but to foster regime change. Weakened by the attack on Fordow and other sites where nuclear weapons were being produced last November, Ayatollah Khomeini’s regime is at its weakest point since its inception in 1979.

Usually, operations like this begin in the middle of the night, not at 9:15 a.m. in the morning. Since the goal is regime change, however, hitting command targets when people began their work day, made a morning attack advisable. For OPERATION EPIC FURY to be successful, the Ayatollah’s leadership must end.

That means, behind the scenes, Mossad and the CIA must have been very busy inside Iran preparing for new leadership to replace the repressive regime. Nothing short of this would work. In addition to Ayatollah Khomeini, the leadership in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) must also be destroyed.

President Trump’s actions have been bold but, in my opinion, necessary. Despite the success of last November’s attack, Iran did not abandon its nuclear weapons program. Now that OPERATION EPIC FURY has begun, for it to be successful, regime change must occur. Nothing short of that will work. This means the Iranian people must rise to the occasion, which I believe they will.
