US Defense Secretary Announces Intensified Strikes on Iran, Claims Over 15,000 Military Targets Hit

Islamabad: US Secretary of Defense Pat Higgsith stated that Iranian regime leaders have gone underground as the toughest attacks on Iran are set to take place today, asserting that the strikes will continue without pause. He assured the world that there is no reason to be concerned about ongoing developments in the Strait of Hormuz.

Higgsith claimed that joint US-Israeli operations have severely weakened Iran’s military capabilities, targeting more than 15,000 military sites so far. He said that, on average, over 1,000 strikes per day are being carried out jointly by the US Air Force and the Israeli Air Force.

According to him, Iran’s air defense systems are nearly destroyed, its air force and navy have been significantly weakened, missile capabilities have dropped by 90%, and drone operations have reduced by 95%.

The US aims to completely neutralize Iran’s key military capacities, with upcoming strikes expected on companies linked to Iran’s defense industry.

Additionally, the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed that today marks the 14th day of the attacks, noting that the Iranian navy has been largely neutralized in less than two weeks. He warned that Iran remains responsible for threats to friendly forces and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which will be addressed by US Central Command operations.
