Washington DC: Speaking on the ongoing conflict with Iran, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth briefed the media on Friday. "We are on plan to defeat, destroy, disable all of Iran's meaningful military capabilities at a pace the world has never seen before," he said
“Today will be the highest volume of US strikes on Iran yet,” Hegseth said. “President Trump holds the cards. He will determine the pace, tempo and timing of this conflict, his hand firmly on the wheel as well as on the throttle,” he added.
The statement come as military tensions between the United States, Israel and Iran continues to intensify following the outbreak of war on February 28.
