Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth is now speaking to the media, updating on the latest on Trump’s war on Iran, APA reports citing The Guardian.
He says the Iranian regime will only see the stars and stripes of the USA and Israel’s star of David, which he describes as “their worst nightmare”.
Hegseth says Iran’s missile volume is down 90%, while its one-way attack drones were down 95% yesterday. Iran does not have the ability to build any more weapons, he adds.
The US is “dealing with” Iran’s attacks in the strait of Hormuz and it is something that does not need to be worried about, Hegseth says, adding: "Their production lines, their military plants, their defence innovation centres; defeated. Iran’s leadership is in no better shape."
The United States and Israel have struck more than 15,000 targets since the start of the Iran war late last month, US Defense Secretary added.
“Between our air force and that of the Israelis, over 15,000 enemy targets have been struck. That’s well over 1,000 a day,” Hegseth told a news conference, adding that Friday would mark the highest volume of strikes yet in the campaign.
