As Operation Epic Fury nears its seventh day, the U.S.-Israeli offensive against Iran has spiraled into a broader regional conflict, with Israeli strikes now reaching deep into Beirut.

The U.S. State Department has reportedly been chartering flights to evacuate American citizens from the Middle East amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran, Operation Epic Fury, which began in late February.
