6 Things To Know As Iran Conflict Hits 1-Month Mark Authored by Ryan Morgan via The Epoch Times, A month has passed since U.S. and Israeli forces jointly launched a surprise attack on Iran, delivering the opening blow in an ongoing effort the U.S. military has dubbed Operation Epic Fury. Iranian forces have since retaliated with attacks on targets across the region and spooked international trade. President Donald Trump has recently raised the prospect of a peace deal, but his administration is also preparing additional military options. Here’s where things stand after four weeks of fighting. Iranian Military, Intelligence, and Political Leaders Killed The opening U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, on Feb. 28, included decapitation strikes aimed at killing numerous senior Iranian military and political leaders. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the 86-year-old Shia Islamist cleric sitting at the pinnacle of leadership in the Iranian regime, was killed in those initial strikes. Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the late ayatollah, has since replaced his father as the supreme leader of Iran. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said the younger Khamenei was likely disfigured in the strikes on the first day of the conflict, but the exact status of the new Iranian leader remains unclear.

An Israeli strike killed Ali Larijani on March 17. Larijani was a senior security advisor to the late Khamenei and had previously served as a top international negot...
