    Iran War Day 7: Trump to Choose Supreme Leader as Dimona Nuclear Strike Threatened

    Iran War Day 7. Trump declares he will personally choose Iran's next Supreme Leader. Iran threatens to strike Israel's Dimona nuclear facility. Kurdish forces mass at Iran's border. The Assembly of Experts bombed while electing a new Supreme Leader. Operation Epic Fury entered its seventh day on Thursday March 5th 2026 with President Trump making the most explosive statement of the entire US Iran war. Trump told reporters the United States will choose Iran's next Supreme Leader alongside Iran, that frontrunner Mojtaba Khamenei is unacceptable, and that the entire operation was triggered because American intelligence confirmed Iran was just two weeks away from building a nuclear weapon. The IAEA had discovered hidden highly enriched uranium in Iran just one day before Operation Epic Fury began. Iran's missile attacks across the Middle East have dropped by ninety percent. CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper confirmed Iran's navy has been wiped out and Iran's missile production facilities are being systematically demolished. The total financial cost of the US Iran war has now crossed five billion dollars — approximately one billion dollars every single day. Iran threatened to strike Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor if the United States and Israel pursue regime change in Tehran. A senior Iranian cleric called for Trump's blood in a Friday sermon broadcast on Iranian state television. Kurdish forces are massing at Iran's northern border preparing a possible ground incursion into Iran — the first ground force to enter Iranian territory since the Iran Iraq war of the nineteen eighties. The Assembly of Experts was bombed by Israel while its members were in session electing a new Supreme Leader. A NATO member's air defenses fired on an Iranian ballistic missile over Turkish airspace. China deployed a special envoy to begin Middle East mediation. And beneath all the public defiance from Tehran, Iran's own intelligence operatives secretly reached out to the CIA about ending the US Iran war. War powers resolutions in both the House and Senate failed, giving Trump full Congressional acquiescence to continue Operation Epic Fury indefinitely.

    America is Winning: Iranian Air Force Destroyed, Navy Sunk, Death Toll Passes 1,000

    Day six of Operation Epic Fury and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stood at the Pentagon podium and delivered one of the most striking military statements in recent American history. America is winning — decisively, devastatingly, and without mercy. The Iranian Air Force is no more. Built for nineteen ninety-six. Destroyed in twenty twenty-six. Twenty Iranian vessels have been sunk. Two thousand strikes have been carried out inside Iran — double the pace of Shock and Awe in Iraq in two thousand and three. The death toll inside Iran has crossed one thousand and forty-five confirmed dead. The Iranian Navy frigate IRIS Dena was torpedoed and sunk by a United States submarine off the coast of Sri Lanka — the first torpedo attack by an American sub since the Second World War.

France deployed the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. Greece deployed F-16s to Cyprus. Israel launched a ground incursion into southern Lebanon.

    One Thousand Targets Hit: Six Americans Dead as Iran Races to Replace Khamenei

    It is day four of Operation Epic Fury and the scale of this conflict is now without modern precedent. The United States has confirmed more than one thousand targets inside Iran have been struck using over twenty different weapons systems — the most comprehensive application of American military force since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
