Hegseth Claims Decisive Military Victory

During a fiery Pentagon briefing, the Secretary of War claimed that Iranian weapons factories have been reduced to rubble and that the regime's military is combat-ineffective.

Hegseth credited President Trump's 'madman strategy' for forcing Tehran to the negotiating table under overwhelming pressure.

However, critics and some military officials have questioned these claims, pointing out that Iran still maintains significant leverage over global oil shipping.

Despite the ceasefire, Hegseth warned that U.S. forces remain 'hanging around' the region and are prepared to resume combat if terms are violated.
