Trump stated goal of operation against Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump outlined a strategy for a joint operation between the United States and Israel aimed at destroying Iran's missile arsenal and infrastructure in an interview. He stated the goal is to "completely destroy their missile arsenal and erase Iran's entire missile industry from the face of the earth forever." Trump emphasized that no missile, factory, or assembly line would be left standing. "It will be totally destroyed—so thoroughly that not even a memory of it will remain. Iran will never again be able to threaten the world with its missiles," he declared. This initiative is expected to become a key element in efforts to neutralize the threat posed by Tehran and counter the country's future missile capabilities.
