US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the conclusion of the military operation in Iran, known as 'Operation Epic Fury', during a briefing at the White House on Tuesday. Responding to a question from ABC News, Rubio said the operation, which began on February 28, had achieved its objectives and was now officially over.

Rubio stated that the US defense forces had completed the mission’s goals and were now focusing on a new initiative called 'Project Freedom'. He emphasized that the United States had no plans for any new military operations in Iran and preferred to pursue peace. According to him, the US President seeks a comprehensive agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to restore global stability.

He further noted that issues related to Iran’s nuclear program would be resolved through dialogue, signaling a shift from military engagement to diplomatic negotiation.
