US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Tuesday will see the ‘most intense day of strikes inside Iran’ as he insisted Tehran is ‘badly losing’ the war.
‘We’re crushing the enemy in an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force. We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated,’ Hegseth told a Pentagon press briefing.
This comes as Iran’s security chief Ali Larijani warned Donald Trump to ‘be careful not to be eliminated’ after the US President said he did not believe the regime’s new Supreme Leader can ‘live in peace’.
Last night Mr Trump told Iran to brace for ‘death, fire and fury’ for keeping the Strait of Hormuz shut before threatening its new leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
Meanwhile Britain is poised to deploy an evacuation ship to the Mediterranean to potentially help people escape from the Middle East as thousands remain stranded in Dubai.
And Pakistan has deployed its navy to escort tankers through the Gulf amid increasing threats surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
Pete Hegseth has declared the US will unleash the ‘most intense day of strikes’ inside Iran at a Pentgaon press briefing in Washington.
