Let's break down why we're targeting military targets in Iran.

The Iranian regime's target has always been one and the same.

For years, Iran and its proxies have posed a direct threat not only to Israelis, but to the whole world.

Their capacity to carry out their deadly goal was only accelerating and expanding, becoming more and more real.

They fund and support their terrorist proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to attack Israel directly.

They fund and direct the smuggling of weapons and the development of ballistic missiles.

This operation is not about escalation. It's about prevention.

We cannot stand by while the largest and deadliest terrorist regime in the world expands its axis of terror, endangering countless lives everywhere.

They have the blood of thousands on their hands, and they only want more.

So, we acted before they could.

This is who we're fighting against. This is what we're fighting for.
