At a Pentagon press conference, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine emphasized that the military campaign against Iran, named 'Epic Fury,' will be prolonged and complex. Gen. Caine stated achieving the military objectives will take time and involve difficult work, while Hegseth declined to offer a specific timeline, contrasting with President Trump's earlier estimate of a four-week duration. Although regime change is not the stated goal, officials acknowledged significant changes in Iran’s regime, particularly following the Israeli assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior figures. The operation commenced after Trump’s authorization on Friday at 3:38 p.m. ET, aimed at degrading Iran’s military capabilities, including its command centers, naval forces, missile sites, and intelligence infrastructure. Additionally, an investigation is ongoing into the downing of three U.S. F-15s in Kuwait, which were reportedly not shot down by enemy fire.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that military operations against Iran would not lead to an 'endless war,' emphasizing that the operation would not be completed overnight. He highlighted the aim to destroy Tehran's missiles, navy, and other security infrastructure, contrasting the current operation with the prolonged conflicts in Iraq. Hegseth's remarks were made during a press conference at the Pentagon, underscoring the focused and decisive nature of the military campaign against Iran.
