Speaking of the eleventh-hour ceasefire following Trump’s threat to end an entire civilization, Hegseth pointed to the broader picture, reminding Americans that Iran has a history of “targeting our people, killing Americans, [and] lying and blackmailing their way toward a nuclear weapon.”
“So they thought. No longer. Not on our watch,” Hegseth said, explaining that other presidents have kicked the can down the road. However, he said, Trump took a different approach, making history.
Proclaiming that Trump “forged this moment,” Hegseth said:
From the strike that took out Qasem Soleimani to tearing up the disastrous Obama-Iran deal, to the precision campaign that obliterated Iran’s nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer, to the decisive military victory we just achieved in Operation Epic Fury, no other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander-in-chief.
Further, Hegseth said, “Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it.” He also deemed Operation Epic Fury a “historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital ‘V’ military victory by any measure,” explaining that the operation completely “decimated” Iran’s military and “rendered it combat-ineffective for years to come.”
Hegseth also said this victory serves as “retribution for every American lost to Iranian terror, especially those brave troops killed by Iranian-made roadside bombs in Iraq,” as well as for the terror the Iranian regime has inflicted around the world.
As a result of this effort, Iran, the Defense Secretary said, knows its future nuclear capabilities are shot and that they will “never” possess a nuclear weapon.

The military did brilliant job we can all be very proud of. The diplomats seem ready to give it all away if you look at the 10 point plan circulating around the media and internet.
Cmon Pete- haven’t ya heard? Iran has declared complete victory after our unconditional surrender to them- lol

Complete victory would mean free transit thru the strait. As long as they’ve got an anti ship missile or two it an’t really be a victory.
...and the navy which we supposedly destroyed is closing the Straight.
Is anything true anymore?

Where is the uranium?
Charlatans on this thread don’t know why they hate American victory.
I hope Kegseth hasn’t relapsed.
“Further, Hegseth said, “Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it.”
He’s a liar. Iran said they don’t want a ceasefire unless it’s on their conditions. They hold all the cards in case people didn’t notice. Why Trump appointed this ignorant clown to be Secretary of Defense is beyond me.
The U.S. military has decimated Iran’s military, but I’m afraid the Iranians are just too stupid to admit defeat. I don’t doubt they will be up to their old tricks soon enough. They need to be taken out, totally, all of them. Muslims are the evil scum of the earth.
Who the hell knows what is truth or reality anymore.
There’s pictures of Hegseth downing beers in the middle of the day WHILE ON Duty floating around the internet. So he’s fallen off the wagon assuming he was ever on it which I doubt.
“Baghdad Bob” Hegseth needs to face reality. The job will not be completed until a government that murdered tens of thousands of its’ citizens is gone, no missiles are being launched, and there is no question as to the Strait of Hormuz being open. True, our troops did a most commendable job but the cause of contention has been left to fester and grow.
Has that little wussy rand paul ran around condemning it all yet?
“navy which we supposedly destroyed is closing the Straight”
The risk to navigation comes from shore-launched drones, not naval vessels.
I get it that “we didn’t destroy their navy” is the official Deep State talking point, but it only works on the misinformed.
But for TDS trolls, no one is this misinformed.
History tells us Iran will now recruit and rearm, then start all over. A cease fire is just a joke, should have been declared April 1st.
“They hold all the cards in case people didn’t notice.:
Yeah, with NO navy or air force.....got it. 👌
Good grief. SMH
