"It's remarkable. It's been one week since Operation Epic Fury began, but the truth is this war began 47 years ago when the new Iranian regime held Americans hostage for 400 days, a few years later took the lives of 240 service members. And all those years one administration after another has essentially been fighting the tentacles of the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, but because of the decisive leadership of President Trump as commander in chief, we're now taking the fight directly to the heart of global terrorism."
"I was at his side when he made the decision to strike directly at Iran taking out Qasem Soleimani in early 2020. Look, I want to give the president all the credit in the world for making that decision. I just couldn't be more proud of the men and women of our armed forces that did the planning, but most importantly, the people that are executing Operation Epic Fury."
Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared on Fox News to commend President Trump for Operation Epic Fury, the recent military strikes against Iran conducted jointly by the U.S. and Israel. Pence characterized the operation as nearly flawless in execution, despite acknowledging that six U.S. service members were killed by an Iranian drone in Kuwait. He framed the current conflict within a 47-year historical context of U.S.-Iran tensions, dating back to the 1979 hostage crisis. Pence credited Trump's decisive leadership as commander-in-chief and referenced Trump's 2020 decision to strike Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani. This praise marks a notable shift, as Pence has been highly critical of Trump since their falling out following the January 6 Capitol riot.
