Pentagon Declares Today as the "Most Intense" Day of Strikes on Iran
According to the Pentagon’s strategic plan, a record number of fighter jets and heavy bombers will be deployed over Iranian airspace to conduct large-scale strikes.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Kane provided data suggesting a significant decline in Iran's offensive capabilities, noting that ballistic missile and drone attacks from Tehran have dropped by 90% and 83% respectively over the last few days. Secretary Hegseth issued a stern warning to Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, urging him to heed Donald Trump's warnings and abandon nuclear ambitions for the sake of survival. While the Pentagon reiterated its commitment to securing the Strait of Hormuz for international shipping, it also claimed to maintain unparalleled precautions to avoid civilian casualties, promising investigations into any formal complaints.
