“Operation Epic Fury is concluded,” US secretary of state Marco Rubio declared early Thursday, marking the end of over two months of unrest triggered by a major military escalation involving the United States and Israel against Iran.
The conflict, aimed at curbing the nuclear ambitions of Ali Khamenei’s regime, also triggered major political upheaval in Tehran. Following Khamenei’s killing, his son Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed as the new supreme leader, marking a major transition of power.
