Asked how close the U.S. is to achieving President Donald Trump's objectives in Iran, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth declined on Thursday to set a timeline, ABC News reports.
"We wouldn't want to set a definitive time frame on that, but as we've said, we're on plan," Hegseth said.
"You hear a lot of noise about widening or new missions, or speculation about what we should or should not be doing. This is a clear set of objectives. The president has given us every capability we need to accomplish that. We've got the best in the world in uniform, executing it on the ground," Hegseth said.
Hegseth said the end of the war "will be at the president's choosing."
