US Secretary of State Announces Military Phase of 'Epic Fury' Operation Against Iran Has Ended
WASHINGTON – US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, announced that the military phase of Operation 'Epic Fury' has fully concluded. This official statement was made during a press conference at the White House on Tuesday (May 5, 2026). Rubio emphasized that the primary objectives of the operation had been achieved, targeting Iran's strategic capabilities including ballistic missiles, production facilities, and its naval forces. He also stated there are no plans to continue or escalate the conflict further.
Meanwhile, US policy focus is shifting towards regional security measures through 'Project Freedom,' which aims to safeguard freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz with defensive escorts. The United States is reportedly close to a provisional agreement with Iran to end the war and initiate nuclear negotiations, according to media reports on Wednesday (May 6, 2026).
This agreement, as cited from several sources, represents the closest point the two sides have reached since the conflict began. Iran is expected to respond to the key points within 48 hours. As of now, no final agreement has been officially announced.
