On the 28th local time, U.S. President Trump stated that the U.S. military has begun military strikes against Iran, which will completely destroy the Iranian navy.

Trump indicated that the main purpose of the strikes is to "eliminate the threat of the Iranian regime to the American people." He stated that Iran is rebuilding its nuclear facilities. At the same time, he claimed that Iran will never be able to possess nuclear weapons.

On the same day, a U.S. official stated that attack aircraft and aircraft carriers stationed at bases across the Middle East are carrying out dozens of U.S. airstrike missions. The U.S. is striking Iran from the air and sea.

U.S. officials said that this attack is expected to be much larger than the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in June of last year.
