US EditionTop US General Says Iran Objectives Will Take Time, Warns of Additional Casualties as Air War Expands
U.S. and Israeli forces continue an air campaign against Iran with expected U.S. casualties and hundreds of ballistic missiles intercepted, as military objectives will take time, officials say.
- On March 2, U.S. General Dan Caine said the United States and Israel's strikes on Iran expanded for a third day and warned, 'This is not a single overnight operation.'
- President Donald Trump launched the campaign Saturday alongside Israel and suggested strikes could last for the next four weeks, while Pete Hegseth said the aim is to destroy Tehran's missiles, navy and other security infrastructure.
- Kuwait's air defenses mistakenly shot down three American F-15E fighter jets during an Iranian attack, a fourth U.S. service member died Monday, and U.S. forces intercepted hundreds of ballistic missiles.
- The United States continued to send additional troops to the Middle East, while military experts warn air power alone may not oust Iran's conservative clerical leaders.
- Launched Saturday, the campaign has been called the biggest U.S. foreign policy gamble in decades and carries high stakes for regional partners with hundreds of intercepted ballistic missiles indicating prolonged instability.
