US Deputy Secretary of Defense: The Iranian Government is Already Finished and Knows It

US Deputy Secretary of Defense John Hegseth stated that the Iranian government is already “finished” and knows it, describing the last four days as “incredible” and “historic.” He emphasized that the US is not rushing and will choose the right time to ensure success. He noted that US forces have begun to “hunt, dismantle, destroy, and defeat” the capabilities of the Iranian regime, predicting that Iranian leaders will only see “US and Israeli air power” until the end of operations. This statement indicates a decisive stance from the US side towards Iran.
