US-Israel Launch Major Strikes on Iran as Tensions Escalate

The United States and Israel have launched widespread strikes across Iran, including Tehran, described by President Trump as 'major combat operations' aimed at destroying Iran's missile capabilities and pressuring its nuclear program. The operation, named 'Epic Fury,' follows weeks of escalatory threats and ongoing negotiations over Iran's nuclear and ballistic programs. Iran has retaliated with missiles targeting Israel and US bases in the region, with explosions reported in multiple cities in Iran and across the region, prompting international calls for de-escalation.

US-Iran Talks Resume as Tehran Stands Firm on Nuclear and Proxies

The US and Iran plan a new round of talks for early February, with neither side signaling a change in position—Iran refuses concessions on ballistic missiles, proxies, and enrichment limits while Washington pushes for nuclear concessions. Reports also detail an Iranian plan to tighten internet controls to limit protests, alongside continued US-led transfers of ISIS detainees from Syria to Iraq (about 2,250 since Jan 21, potentially up to 7,000). In Syria’s Hasakah, a new governor with close SDF ties takes office, and regional security operations continue. No major developments reported for Yemen, Palestine, or Lebanon.

Trump eyes Iran strike, as U.S. forces mass in region

As Trump signals a renewed U.S. push against Iran with a carrier-led force buildup, Washington frames it around pressuring Tehran to accept a no-nuclear-weapons deal, even as Iran’s nuclear program remains degraded but not eliminated. Analysts warn that Iran could retaliate through missiles and its regional proxy network, and that U.S. options are limited and risk significant regional blowback, making this escalation a search for a decisive objective rather than a straightforward victory.

Amid a deadly crackdown on protesters, Donald Trump says he is open to negotiating with Iran while warning that if Tehran rejects a deal, the next attack could be far worse than last year’s raids.

The article notes a disputed death toll from protests (HRANA cites over 6,300 deaths, opposition sources estimate up to 30,000), underscoring the regime’s brutality as the United States weighs its options.

US Strikes Limited Iranian Nuclear Sites, Prompting Congressional Scrutiny

A U.S. assessment reveals that last month's strikes on Iran's nuclear sites mostly destroyed one facility, Fordo, significantly setting back Iran's nuclear capabilities, while two other sites were only partially damaged and could potentially resume enrichment within months. The strikes, part of a broader military plan rejected by President Trump, aimed to severely weaken Iran's nuclear program, but assessments suggest Iran may still rebuild or continue nuclear activities, raising the possibility of future conflicts.
