Today will be the most intense day of strikes, US warns Iran

Hegseth said that the main aim of Operation Epic Fury remains to destroy Iran's missile stockpiles, navy and defence industrial base.

“Today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran — the most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes,” Hegseth said while sharing updates about the ongoing war.

The conflict that began with a joint attack by US, Israel on Iran, spread to other countries in the Middle East as Tehran targeted US military bases.
