President Trump said the United States may carry out a limited military operation against Iran, according to a report by China.com published on Saturday. The outlet said Trump described the potential action as a small-scale strike under the name "Epic Fury."
The report, carried in Chinese, gave no further details on timing, targets or scope. It did not specify when or where Trump made the remark, and it did not say whether any decision had been made.
The headline and summary from China.com are the only available material on the statement, so the context behind the remark and the scale of any planned operation remain unclear. The report also did not indicate whether the administration had briefed allies or Congress, or how Iran has responded.
The phrase "Epic Fury" was presented by China.com as Trump's own description of the possible operation, but the outlet did not explain its origin or what it would involve.
What to watch next: whether the White House or the Pentagon issues an official statement clarifying the scope of any planned action, and how Iran responds to the reported remark.
