REPLAY: Press briefing by US Defense Secretary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Operation Epic Fury has achieved a decisive result in just weeks, focused on preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
He noted the mission is entering a new phase, giving Iran the chance to pursue a “good and wise” peace deal, while emphasising the strength of the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, soon to be reinforced by a second aircraft carrier.
