US EditionUS strikes against Iran not aimed at regime change, Pentagon chief says
- On June 22, the U.S. military conducted Operation Midnight Hammer, striking three Iranian nuclear facilities near Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz from bases in the region to neutralize nuclear threats.
- The operation followed Israel's initial strikes on Iran starting June 13 and rising tensions in the region amid Iran's nuclear ambitions and prior attacks on U.S. bases.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the strikes severely damaged Iran's nuclear program without targeting Iranian troops or seeking regime change, adding that U.S. forces remain fully postured against retaliation.
- The operation deployed more than 125 military aircraft and utilized a combination of massive ordnance penetrators along with over twenty Tomahawk cruise missiles. General Dan Caine reported extensive damage across all targeted sites but refrained from commenting on the extent of Iran’s remaining nuclear capabilities.
- Iran responded with missile attacks on Israel, wounding civilians and threatening the Strait of Hormuz closure, while regional actors urged de-escalation amid fears the strikes could intensify Middle East conflict.
