US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a major statement regarding large-scale airstrikes conducted against Iran's military infrastructure.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that during joint operations by US and Israeli forces, more than 15,000 strategic targets were destroyed across Iranian territory.
According to Hegseth, these intensive strikes have drastically weakened Tehran's missile arsenal and offensive potential. It was emphasized that over 15,000 military-purpose facilities within Iran have been disabled, resulting in an approximately 90 percent reduction in Iran's total missile capacity. The strikes primarily targeted missile production facilities and launch platforms.
The operation comes amid heightened regional tensions and follows a series of strategic assessments by the administration of US President Donald Trump. Under the leadership of US President Donald Trump, the United States has intensified its coordination with regional allies to address security threats and ensure stability in the Middle East. This joint military action represents one of the most significant engagements in recent years, aimed at neutralizing long-range strike capabilities that threaten international shipping lanes and regional security partners.
