Washington, DC – In a press briefing at the Pentagon on Monday morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth praised the ongoing operation in Iran by the U.S. military. He emphasized that the operation is not an “endless” or “regime change” war, contrary to what some critics may claim.
Hegseth began by acknowledging the bravery and dedication of the U.S. military personnel involved in the operation. He stated, “Our troops are the finest in the world, and they are carrying out this mission with utmost professionalism and precision. I am proud of their service and commitment to protecting our nation.”
The Secretary of War then addressed concerns about the operation being an “endless” war. He made it clear that this is not the case. “We have a clear objective and a defined timeline for this operation. Our goal is to eliminate the threat posed by the Iranian regime and restore stability in the region. This is not a never-ending conflict, and we are committed to achieving our objective in a timely manner.”
Hegseth also addressed the notion that the operation is a “regime change” war. He stated, “Let me be clear, this is not about regime change. Our focus is on eliminating the threat posed by the Iranian regime, not on overthrowing their government. We have no interest in interfering with the internal affairs of Iran. Our only concern is the safety and security of our nation and our allies.”
The Secretary of War went on to explain the necessity of this operation. He highlighted the aggressive and destabilizing actions of the Iranian regime, including their support for terrorist groups and their pursuit of nuclear weapons. He emphasized that the U.S. cannot stand idly by and allow these actions to continue unchecked.
Hegseth also addressed concerns about the potential impact of the operation on innocent civilians in Iran. He stated, “We are taking every precaution to minimize civilian casualties. Our military is using precision strikes to target only the facilities and individuals directly involved in the Iranian regime’s hostile activities. We have no intention of harming innocent civilians.”
The Secretary of War also reassured the American people that the U.S. military is well-prepared for any potential retaliation from Iran. He stated, “Our military is the most advanced and well-trained in the world. We have taken all necessary precautions to protect our troops and our nation from any potential threats. We are ready to defend ourselves and our allies if necessary.”
In conclusion, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made it clear that the ongoing operation in Iran is not an “endless” or “regime change” war. He emphasized that the U.S. military is committed to achieving its objective in a timely manner and with minimal civilian casualties. He also reassured the American people that the U.S. military is well-prepared for any potential retaliation. The Secretary of War’s words serve as a reminder of the bravery and dedication of our troops and their unwavering commitment to protecting our nation.
