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

“This 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.
