Defense Secretary Hegseth and General Caine hold Pentagon briefing

From CNN.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a news briefing Wednesday that the US had won the war with Iran and had largely destroyed its military, though US intelligence has assessed that Iran maintains significant missile launching capability. Hegesth’s comments came after a ceasefire deal was announced Tuesday night.

However, CNN reported last week that according to sources, US intelligence has recently determined that roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers are still intact and thousands of one-way attack drones remain in Iran’s arsenal.

Hegseth acknowledged but played down Iran’s remaining capability at today’s briefing, saying, “What little they have left, buried in bunkers, is all they will have.”
