US EditionHegseth, Caine Warn that U.S. Is Stepping up Attacks in Iran
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced an intensified campaign to seize air superiority over Iran, pledging control of its skies and an unlimited supply of precision bombs.
- At a Pentagon news conference, Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of War, and Gen. Dan Caine announced greater control of Iranian airspace and a major bombing campaign, with Hegseth saying, `More and larger waves are coming. We are accelerating, not decelerating.`
- U.S. officials cited that recent negotiations failed because Iran sought a pathway to a nuclear bomb, citing intelligence since the 12-day war and Iran's attacks involving more than 500 ballistic missiles and over 2,000 drones, resulting in U.S. and Israeli casualties.
- Using GPS-and-laser-guided munitions, Caine said a U.S. Navy submarine sank an Iranian warship with a Mark 48 torpedo, achieving immediate effect since 1945.
- Legal experts called the offensive a breach of international law, while humanitarian groups including the Norwegian Refugee Council warned of a stark impact as the Iranian Red Crescent Society reported at least 940 dead, including 175 at an Iranian girls' school.
- Regional reports show Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan lodged a protest with Iran over missile debris found near the Syrian border, warning against steps that could widen the conflict as Iran targets Gulf oil and gas infrastructure.
