“Today will again be our most intense day of attacks in Iran,” Hegseth said at a press conference on the war against the Islamic Republic, which has been the target of US and Israeli attacks since February 28. Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones at Gulf countries that are not involved in the strikes but host US bases.
The defense minister said it was up to US President Donald Trump to decide how long the war would last. “Our will is infinite, but the president has the final say on achieving our goals,” stated.
Earlier, in an interview with Fox News, Trump repeated that the US military operation against the Islamic Republic exceeded expectations, but he was surprised that Iran struck the Gulf states in retaliation.
