U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a fiery message as the war with Iran intensifies, warning that the coming phase of the campaign could be the most intense day of strikes yet. In a series of strong statements, Hegseth accused Iran’s leadership of waging a “47-year war against America” through attacks on U.S. forces and allies, vowing that the United States will respond with overwhelming force.

Speaking about the ongoing operations, Hegseth said the conflict “hits home” for the current generation of Americans, emphasizing that U.S. troops understand the stakes of the fight. He also reiterated that if Americans are threatened anywhere in the world, the U.S. military will pursue those responsible “without hesitation.”

The remarks come as the U.S. and Israel continue a large-scale military campaign targeting Iran’s missile systems, naval assets, and military infrastructure, part of a broader effort to weaken Tehran’s military capabilities

00:00Today will be, yet again, our most intense day of strikes inside Iran.
00:06The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes.
00:10Intelligence more refined and better than ever.
00:14The last 24 hours have seen Iran fire the lowest number of missiles they've been capable of firing yet.
00:22On day 10 of Operation Epic Fury, we are winning.
00:26With an overwhelming and unrelenting focus on our objectives, which are the same as the day I gave my first
00:35briefing here on Operation Epic Fury.
00:38They're straightforward, and we are executing them with ruthless precision.
00:44One, destroy their missile stockpiles, their missile launchers, and their defense industrial base.
00:51Missiles and their ability to make them.
00:54Two, destroy their navy.
00:58And three, permanently deny Iran nuclear weapons forever.
01:04It's a laser-focused, maximum-authority mission delivered with overwhelming and unrelenting precision.
01:11No hesitation.
01:13No half-measures.
01:14As President Trump declared yesterday, we're crushing the enemy in an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force.
01:25We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated.
01:30But we do so.
01:32We do so on our timeline and at our choosing.
01:36For example, today will be, yet again, our most intense day of strikes inside Iran.
01:44The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes.
01:48Intelligence more refined and better than ever.
01:52So that's on one hand.
01:53On the other hand, the last 24 hours have seen Iran fire the lowest number of missiles they've been capable
02:00of firing yet.
02:03Just the bifurcation, just the trend lines that we talked about on our first briefing.
02:08You see, this is not 2003.
02:11This is not endless nation-building under those types of quagmires we saw under Bush or Obama.
02:20It's not even close.
02:21Our generation of soldier will not let that happen again, and nor will this president,
02:27who very clearly ran against those kinds of never-ending, nebulously-scoped missions.
02:34Those days are dead.
02:36Instead, we're winning decisively with brutal efficiency, total air dominance,
02:42and an unbreakable will to accomplish the president's objectives on our timeline.
02:49We stay locked on the target because here at the Department of War, that's our job.
02:55Now, the chairman and I having just returned from Dover last night,
02:59our troops and their families and the enormous sacrifice that they make
03:04is certainly heavy on my mind.
03:07So I'll close with scripture, drawing strength from Psalm 144.
03:13Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
03:19He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer,
03:25my shield in whom I take refuge.
03:30May the Lord grant unyielding strength and refuge to our warriors,
03:36unbreakable protection to them in our homeland,
03:39and total victory over those who seek to harm them.
03:44And amen.
03:45God bless our troops and this mission.
