Hegseth Says War In Iran Unlike Previous Wars, Is Laser-Focused
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday that the war in Iran is not like those in Iraq and Afghanistan, in which “foolish politicians” such as presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden squandered American credibility. “This is not those wars,” Hegseth said during a briefing from the Pentagon. “President Trump knows better. Epic Fury is different. It’s laser focused. It’s decisive.” Hegseth also laid out what he says are the war’s objectives, including destroying Iran’s missiles and making sure the Islamic Republic never develops a nuclear weapon. He said moire than 7000 targets across Iran and its military infrastructure have been struck to date.
