The American Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, announced that the military operation against Iran is in its early stages, with plans to accelerate the attacks.

In a press conference, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that the U.S. military operation against Iran is still in the 'early phase' and emphasized the intention to intensify attacks. President Donald Trump claimed that the U.S. military is 'wiping out' the Iranians, but warned that the 'big wave' of strikes is yet to come.

Hegseth confirmed that the next phase aims for complete control of Iranian airspace, with the goal of destroying Iran's missiles and military infrastructure. General Dan Caine mentioned that Iran has launched fewer missiles, suggesting a reduction in its military capabilities.

Trump acknowledged that Iran's attacks on countries in the region were a surprise and emphasized that the U.S. will continue to support the Iranian people in regaining control of their country. He estimated that the conflict could last about four weeks, but warned that the attacks will become even more intense.
