SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 11, 2026 – Military strikes against Iran have reshaped the geopolitical landscape, with US President Donald Trump declaring a "major combat operation" underway and explicitly calling for the Iranian government to be overthrown, marking one of the most consequential military escalations in the Middle East in decades.
