Iran Can’t Strike Back: US Defense Chief Hegseth
1 min read
America’s relentless assault has targeted over 7,000 locations deep in Iran, supercharging a campaign that has gutted the regime’s military might. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated flatly that Iran wants to hit back but lacks the power, as their arsenal crumbles under U.S. pressure.
Hegseth, at Pentagon headquarters, exuded confidence: ‘Victory is ours, decisively, by our rules.’ Long-war worries? Dismissed. Focus stays on vaporizing missiles, factories, ships, and atomic dreams.
Metrics tell the tale: 90% plunge in Iranian missile and drone barrages on U.S. assets. ‘More would come if possible,’ he said. ‘It’s not.’
General Dan Caine shared ops intel—penetrator ordnance on sub-surface depots, eastward air penetrations, naval wreckage tallying 120 vessels, submarine force kaput, surface navy toothless.
Sky warriors rule: Warthogs, Apaches hammer southern chokepoints like Hormuz; bomber fleets (B-1s, B-2s, B-52s) fly far with refuelers. Hunt for mines, missiles, naval stores presses on.
No finish line drawn; Trump decides. Rooted in 47 years of Iranian perfidy—U.S. casualties, terror funding—per Hegseth.
Iran clings to scraps of offense, but U.S. executes flawlessly, Caine said. Allies in UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel lock arms. U.S. parries Tehran’s AI fake imagery blitz as internet goes dark inside Iran.
