Operation Epic Fury against Iran 'is over,' Little Marco says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The U.S. military campaign that launched the war with Iran, Operation Epic Fury, "is over," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday, telling reporters that a new defensive phase had begun to secure the Strait of Hormuz — though President Trump later said he was pausing the effort to allow more time for a deal with Iran.

The declaration of an end to offensive operations comes as Trump continues to threaten a new round of strikes against the Islamic Republic, which persists in disrupting commercial shipping traffic through the vital waterway. But Rubio, who is also the national security advisor, suggested the Trump administration is reluctant to return to full-scale war.

"The operation, Epic Fury, is concluded. We achieved the objectives of that operation," Rubio said at a news briefing at the White House.

“This is the first step toward reopening the strait,” he added. “We are doing it not only because we were asked, but because we are the only ones that can.”

Over until it isn't over. In the meantime, I saw gas as high as $6.69 today. That was for premium but still.

1. "We achieved the objectives of that operation"

If the objectives were to waste billions of taxpayer dollars and dramatically raise the cost of living for Americans, mission accomplished.
