Hegseth says US will hit Iranian missile production, 'Iranian navy will be destroyed'

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a statement on social media about "Operation Epic Fury," writing: "The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal - and now they are suffering the consequences."

Hegseth reaffirmed that not only would Iran's missiles and missile production be destroyed, but that "The Iranian navy will be destroyed."

Hegseth's post continued: "As President Trump has said his entire life, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it."
