Question

What is the Codename for the joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran, launched in February 2026?

• A. Operation Roaring Fury/Epic Lion
• B. Operation Iron Shield/Iron Lion
• C. Operation Epic Fury/Roaring Lion
• D. Operation Lion’s Roar/Roaring Fury

Hint:

The U.S. often uses evocative, aggressive adjectives (Epic, Fury, Noble), while Israel frequently uses animal imagery (Lion, Eagle) or protective terms (Shield, Wall). Combining these two patterns leads you to option (C).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the operation's background.
In February 2026, the USA and Israel jointly launched a military operation against Iran. Each ally assigned its own codename to the mission.
Step 2: Identify the two codenames.
The US codename was "Operation Epic Fury" and Israel's codename was "Operation Roaring Lion." The combined operation is therefore referred to as Epic Fury / Roaring Lion.
Step 3: Eliminate wrong combinations.
Options (1) and (4) swap words or mix names incorrectly. Option (2) uses "Iron Shield/Iron Lion" which relates to a different Israeli air-defence context. Only option (3) correctly pairs Epic Fury (US) with Roaring Lion (Israel).
\[ \boxed{\text{Operation Epic Fury/Roaring Lion}} \]
