Rubio declares Operation Epic Fury concluded as Trump pauses Project Freedom in Strait of Hormuz
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced at a White House briefing on Tuesday that Operation Epic Fury, the US-Israeli military offensive against Iran that began February 28, has concluded after achieving its objectives. President Trump separately paused Project Freedom, a two-day-old operation to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, citing progress toward a peace deal with Iran facilitated by Pakistan. Iran's parliamentary speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf said Iran was 'just getting started,' and a cargo vessel was struck by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz late Tuesday.
