Operation Epic Fury and International Law
Reed D. Rubinstein, Legal Adviser Office of the Legal Adviser – The U.S. Department of State April 21, 2026
On February 28, the United States Armed Forces launched Operation Epic Fury with a set of clear objectives: to “[d]estroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy [Iran’s] navy and other security infrastructure,” and, finally, ensure that Iran “will never have nuclear weapons.”
Epic Fury is only the latest round of an ongoing international armed conflict with Iran. As the United States has explained in multiple letters to the U.N. Security Council, including most recently on March 10, the United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally, as well as in the exercise of the United States’ own inherent right of self-defense.
Critics have argued that the United States’s combat operations are inconsistent with the UN Charter. In truth, the United States is acting well within the recognized contours of international law relating to the use of force and self-defense. This legal assessment is grounded in facts demonstrating Iran’s malign aggression over decades, particularly in Iran’s escalatory attacks against the United States, Israel, and others in the region for years, which precipitated an international armed conflict that predated U.S. combat operations on February 28 and that continues to this day.

Yeah, about that word ‘request’? That ain’t right.
More spiel to make out the USA and Israel (and all the rest) are separate entities. From some spook called “Reed D. Rubinstein” too. Really? It would be funny if it wasn’t so unfunny.
“Prior to 1979, Iran and Israel maintained amicable relations”.
Well, was that because Reza Phalavi was a zionist puppet?
Maybe. But like most of them, they cant help leaking animosity against their masters, as time wears the relation down. Many corrupt leaders end up with unhappy love for their people, but then its often to late…
Another Zionist Jew trying to justify the US & Israeli unlawful attack on Iran. And while he states the reasons for the war, of past actions of Iran supporting world terror, he completely ignores the US’s unlawful attacks on Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Sudan, not forgetting supporting Israel, who has broken all war conduct and continues to. He also ignores US funding and training of Al Qaeda, ISIS and other Islamist organisations. The new leader of Syria, who wouldn’t be there were it not for the US and Israel, negates this article.
Just nonsense, absolute nonsense and nothing more. Jews doing what they do best – lying.
America (and the rest of the west) should have listened to and needed Ezra Pound in the Jewish question. The more Jews in positions of power, the world death toll increases and the west continues it’s plummet to the bottom of the sewer.
“…ensure that Iran “will never have nuclear weapons.”
Bosh!
Israel wants Iran destroyed and conquered. They do not care about nukes. In fact, nukes are only a minor plot point at this juncture:
Tons of nations have nukes, and have had them since 1945, when only 3 powers had them: As Harry Truman stated the day after Nagasaki, the three nuclear Good Guys were Canada, the USA and the British Empire. But a short time later Stalin got it and suddenly, the phony “Nuclear Standoff” began in the early Cold War and it’s still happening.
How ridiculous is that? We got a big, city-busting bomb but nobody — ever — uses it.
Nukes are a fairy tale we have to grow out of, folks. It is just a big exotic scare machine now. Like all lies, it needs to get scrubbed off the face of the earth.
The same globalists that created the US by slaughtering native American indians and replacing them with tax paying European stock, also created Isreal with the same intention.
sounds like H Bush seniors operation JUST CAUSE
against Noriega of Panama who knew very well Bushs
entanglement in colombian kokain trade .
(Mena trafic under Clinton, Barry + the boys)
steady repetitions of political trix since hundreds of years .
I think US marines in Lebanon 1983 + Khobar towers 1996
were false flags of israhell like most their covert operations
in the world . they always tried their new developed sufisticated
plutonium-neutron mininukes from Oklahoma, Bali over
Islamabad, Nairobi, Daressalam to Bairut + Syria .
MH 370 to MH17 with formalhydrided chinese deads over
Ukraine goes also on israhells account ! on Rothschilds order .
Circumcised people must be prohibited from every civilized country in the world and all of them confined to the African continent. Only then will the world ever see peace. It is a tradition imposed on new born children without their consent. With Western countries focus on everyone’s rights, how if this ignored?
“United States is acting well within the recognized contours of international law relating to the use of force and self-defense.”
Ha ha what a nonsense!
