U.S. STATEMENT ON IRAN
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine held a joint press conference regarding the war in Iran. Hegseth, stating that the U.S. is winning the war in Iran, noted that more troops are being sent.
"MORE TROOPS ARE GOING TO IRAN, WE CAN ADVANCE FROM THE GROUND"
Hegseth said: "The U.S. is winning the war in Iran. More troops are being sent to the region. We are able to advance from the ground. We will establish full control over Iranian airspace in a short time. A wave of attacks is coming; we are just getting started."
"MORE WAVE OF ATTACKS WILL BEGIN"
There will be more waves of attacks. The Experts Council has no courage to gather in a single room. They cannot even communicate with the generals. The Iranian air force has been eliminated. The naval forces have painted the bottom of the Gulf. The U.S. sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean with a torpedo.
"WE ARE CUTTING OFF IRAN'S PATH TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS"
We are cutting off Iran's path to nuclear weapons. The clarity of Trump's morality is very important. While we are here, Iran will not be able to possess nuclear weapons. Stopping our attacks is impossible.
From now on, all the rules will be set by us. We will continue to strike with laser-guided missiles. Iran will not be able to possess nuclear weapons as long as we are here. Mr. Trump has promised that we will finish the job we started."
"THE MISSILE THAT FELL IN TURKEY WILL NOT TRIGGER NATO'S ARTICLE 5"
Regarding the missile that fell in Turkey, Hegseth said: "The incident in Turkey does not trigger NATO's Article 5."
"WE PREVENTED IRAN FROM TARGETING OUR ALLIES"
U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine stated: "Our goal was to strike Iran's ballistic programs. We prevented them from targeting our allies. We are preventing Iran from showcasing its military power. Iran's ballistic missile launch rate has decreased by 85% since day one. Kamikaze drones have decreased by 73%. We have destroyed more than 20 Iranian warships."
"WE HAVE ENOUGH AMMUNITION FOR OUR OPERATION"
U.S. Central Command CENTCOM stated that it maintains air superiority in southern Iran and will continue to attack Iran's infrastructure and naval capacity. Caine continued his statements: "Now we will begin to expand into the interior of Iran. We have enough ammunition for our operation. The operation is very complex, and the danger is not over yet; the risk is still very high. Iran's command structure is in very bad shape."
