US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said this afternoon the US and Israel are on the cusp of taking complete control of Iran’s airspace. In a media briefing with Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Dan Caine, he laid out plans to step up attacks.

“Iran’s capabilities are evaporating by the hour,” Hegseth said. “While American strength grows fiercer, smarter and utterly dominant, more bombers and more fighters are arriving just today.”
