US Defense Secretary, Patrick Hagerty, stated that the Iran war is not a “regime change” war, but rather an operation aimed at destroying Iran’s missiles. Speaking at a press conference in Washington, Hagerty emphasized that the mission is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, not Iraq or any other unlimited conflict. He added that the US will end the war on America’s terms.
According to the US Central Command, three American F-15E fighter jets crashed in Kuwait, reportedly due to friendly fire. Hagerty stated that the regime has been changed, and the world is better off as a result. He clarified that the US did not start the war but rather responded to Iran’s decades-long “unilateral” war against the US. The current operations are a response to these actions, and President Donald Trump’s leadership will bring an end to this conflict.
