US Secretary of War: The Strikes on Iran Today Will Be the Strongest
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that the 11th day of Operation 'Epic Fury' will witness the largest wave of strikes against Iran since the operation began.
During a press conference with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Keen, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth highlighted that the 11th day of Operation 'Epic Fury' will feature the most significant strikes yet, deploying the largest number of fighter jets and bombers, with improved intelligence. Hegseth noted a 90% reduction in Iranian missile capabilities since the start of the operation, underscoring the diminishing threat posed by Iran.
The three primary objectives of the operation remain unchanged: the destruction of missile storage and launch platforms, targeting Iran's naval capabilities, and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The military has already targeted over 5,000 sites, demonstrating a relentless approach to achieving these goals. The use of US strategic bombers to drop heavy munitions on missile facilities further illustrates the intensity of the campaign.
Chairman Keen reported that over 50 Iranian vessels have been targeted in the first ten days of the operation. This escalation of military action indicates a significant shift in US-Iran relations and raises concerns about potential further conflict in the region. The continued focus on dismantling Iran's military capabilities suggests a long-term strategy that could have lasting implications for regional stability and international diplomacy.
