Pentagon says Iran will not be ‘endless war’

WASHINGTON: US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Monday that military operations against Iran would not lead to an “endless war” and that the aim was to destroy Tehran’s missiles, Navy and other security infrastructure.

“We’re hitting them surgically, overwhelmingly and unapologetically,” Hegseth said during a press conference at the Pentagon.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declined to give a timeline for the US-Israeli war on Iran, saying it was up to President Donald Trump to decide the length of the military campaign against Tehran.
