On March 31st, War Secretary Pete Hexeth laid out the U.S. military's plan against Iran, saying the goal is to push the regime into seeing a deal. Ends the fight best. During a press briefing with Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Cain, he tied it to overwhelming force that opens doors to talks. They detailed Operation Epic Fury, where troops from every branch hid deep targets inside Iran. Over the past month, forces struck more than 11,000 sites, smashing missiles, drones, naval assets, and factories that make weapons. Service members are running non-stop missions, defending against enemy fire while unleashing their own. Hexeth praised the warriors' drive to wrap this up, noting Intel shows Iranian troops losing heart, with desertions rising and fewer attacks coming. Our way, the campaign wrecked key bunkers and command spots, cutting Iran's power to head back. Officials stress no nukes for Iran, ever, and want allies to share the load on spots like the Strait of Hormuz.
