Iranian Americans consider U.S.–Israeli military action a big step toward freeing their homeland from an oppressive regime, according to those interviewed by The Epoch Times in multiple U.S. states on Feb. 28, hours after the airstrikes on Iran began.

It is a mission to “liberate 90 million people in Iran,” no matter how some media reports might “spin” it, said Sherry Yadegari, who lives in the Atlanta area.
