War Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday outlined what he described as a "clear" three-part mission against Iran, insisting the conflict "is not endless" and sharply rejecting comparisons to past U.S. wars in the Middle East.
Speaking during the first Pentagon briefing since U.S.-Israeli strikes began over the weekend, Hegseth said Operation Epic Fury has a narrowly defined objective: destroy Iran’s offensive missile capabilities, cripple its navy and prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

You pulled that shiite out of your ass, as usual .
It’s not our responsibility to occupy or rebuild the country. But if we don’t have some sense on what is going to happen in the short term, we could be looking at a scenario where we’d have to go back in a few years.
“””You pulled that shiite out of your ass, as usual “””
It is easy to tell who watched msnow.
The entire is really war. Aim is not to install another government. It’s a reduce Iran into anarchy like they did with Syria. They want a failed state, they don’t care if it falls into civil war, or constant turmoil. That’s the Israeli war plan… And of course, that’s the order they have given it to us.
Better than paying the Joooos 200% - that might be Trump’s thinking.
Glad to see that Israel lives full time in your empty head.
Lol see your repeating Iranian propaganda as truth again.
The War of Islam seems to be a worldwide constant since Mad Mo’ “married” his 6 yr old “wife”.
Who is “we”, comrade?
“We, Israel and our allies in the region are running low on missiles. If Iran still has an ample amount when we do, we’re screwed.”
*********************************
In the June war Israel used 2-3 interceptors per missile. This time I see them using 8-9 interceptors per missile and connecting with even fewer of them. We’re screwed. Watch in 2-3 weeks when we’re out of interceptors Trump’s only recourse will be to threaten Iran with nukes.
Just as soon as we get a government to our liking, we’ll pull out.
Anarchies have their own danger to us and the world around us.
“In the June war Israel used 2-3 interceptors per missile. This time I see them using 8-9 interceptors per missile and connecting with even fewer of them.”
Times have changed. Israel’s Iron Beam only requires electricity to shoot down rockets and drones. USA has the LUCAS drone at only 35k per.
Iranian production of missiles and drones will soon be ended as well as their stock of missiles and drones. They will only have small arms to defend themselves.
Yes, russia is running low on missiles ... And Iran won't be helping replenish russia's supplies. How do your masters in moscow tell you to feel about that?
Now they’re not even ruling out ground troops. It’s a total disaster in the making. Major betrayal by Trump.
I think he will stay away from using ground troops. I guess we will find out.
Nothing we or Israel currently have deployed will reliably stop Iran’s hypersonic missiles. Most seem to be getting through at least from the videos I’ve seen.
