US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth claims Iran begged for a ceasefire after US strikes decimated their military capabilities. The US has achieved complete air superiority and destroyed a significant portion of Iran's naval fleet and defence industrial base.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that Iran begged for a ceasefire after the US launched Operation Epic Fury. The operation severely degraded Iran's military capabilities, with their missile programme functionally destroyed and navy effectively eliminated. The US achieved complete air superiority, carrying out around 800 strikes on Iran's defence industrial base. Iranian military infrastructure and factories were razed to the ground. The US has struck over 13,000 targets since the conflict began, with approximately 90% of Iran's naval fleet and 95% of its naval mines destroyed. A two-week ceasefire has been welcomed by Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, who expressed appreciation for public support.
