US Defense Secretary: 'Epic Fury' Operation Begins Now - Iran Will Surrender

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that US military operations in Iran have begun and that Iran's ability to project naval power in the region is diminishing. He asserted that the US and Israel have already gained control of Iranian airspace and that Iran will eventually surrender. Hegseth emphasized that the US is “fighting to win” and that there will be no deal with Iran except for “unconditional surrender.” He reiterated that the US is setting the terms and that Operation 'Epic Fury' is in its early stages but will continue until Iran surrenders. He also referred to reports of Russia providing information to Iran regarding US assets.
