Hegseth: Iran's Missile Program 'Wiped Out'

0:00It's April 8th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Global News Today, your AI-powered world briefing. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just declared a decisive military win over Iran, saying their missile program is basically wiped out. This comes straight from a press briefing with General Dan Kane, the Joint Chief's chairman. They spoke one day after President Trump backed off a full assault on Iran, pulling the trigger just two hours shy of his deadline for Tehran to. Re-open the blockade is straight of Hormuz. The stakes were sky high, with that vital shipping lane choked off, threatening global oil flows and economies worldwide. Kane confirmed all U.S. goals hit the mark, but stressed. This ceasefire is just a breather. Troops stay locked and loaded for any comeback. Bottom line. Tension simmer as the world watches if Iran blinks for real, if shots fire up again.
