U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that attacks on Iran will intensify with the heaviest strikes since Washington launched the war 10 days ago.
"Today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran. The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes. Intelligence more refined and better than ever," Pete Hegseth told a news conference alongside Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
His remarks came amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, which began on Feb. 28, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other top security officials, as well as some 1,300 people so far.
"On day 10 of Operation Epic Fury, we are winning with an overwhelming and unrelenting focus on our objectives," Hegseth said.
He listed three objectives of the war: destroying Iran's missile stockpiles, missile launchers and defense industrial base, missiles, and their ability to make them; destroying their navy; and denying Iran the ability to produce nuclear weapons.
