The U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, said today that the attacks against Iran «are not a regime change war, but the regime has certainly changed and the world is better for it». Hegseth insisted that the military operation against Iran «is not Iraq», nor an «interminable» conflict, but on the contrary, they have the «clear and devastating» mission to destroy Tehran's defense capabilities. In turn, the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, stated that military operations against Iran «will take some time» to achieve their objectives and will require «painstaking work», as they expect new casualties among their troops.
