Al-Monitorclashed with lawmakers, pushback on 'war is over' claim

Marco Rubio, serving as US Secretary of State, stated to congressional committees that Operation Epic Fury has ended after beginning on February 28 and involving coordinated US-Israeli strikes on Iranian military infrastructure. A mid-April ceasefire preceded Tuesday strikes on Qeshm Island and an oil tanker, while Iran conducted a drone attack on Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday that killed at least one person and injured more than 60. Bahrain reported intercepting three Iranian missiles on the same day.

How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

Rubio's announcement illustrates how defensive mandates expanded into sustained cross-border strikes, with civilian spillover evident in the Kuwait attack.

“Mission creep and third-party human costs”

Conservative

Halting offensive pressure after four months risks emboldening Iran, as shown by continued missile and drone activity.

“Need for sustained capability degradation”

Libertarian

Ending sustained operations reduces unauthorized executive military action and avoids further entanglement.

“Limits on state force and non-aggression principle”

Devil's Advocate

All perspectives accept the defensive framing and ceasefire timeline without examining post-ceasefire strikes or blockade impacts.

“Unquestioned premises and omitted economic and timing details”
