On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump agreed to Pakistan's proposed temporary ceasefire with Iran. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth spoke at the press conference about the completed military operation.
Hegseth began his speech by saying that Iran had been a threat to the US for 47 years, but “that is over.” He then praised President Donald Trump for “making history.”
— President Trump created this moment, Iran pleaded for a ceasefire and we all know it. President Trump has proven to be the most effective commander of the armed forces. No other president has shown such courage, he said.
Hegseth said Operation Epic Fury was “historic and overwhelming,” adding that U.S. forces “decimated the Iranian military.” “This is a great day for peace and a great military victory,” said the Secretary of War.
“The leading state sponsor of terrorism has proven completely unable to defend itself, its people and its territory,” he added.
US Secretary of War: Donald Trump chose mercy
Pete Hegseth also stated that the United States achieved its military goals by annihilating the Iranian navy and air force. As he argued during the press conference, Iranian airspace “belongs to the US.”
According to a US official, Iran accepted the ceasefire under “overwhelming pressure” and if it rejected Washington's terms, “the next targets would be power plants, bridges, and oil and energy infrastructure.”
— President Trump had the power to paralyze the entire Iranian economy in a matter of minutes, but he chose mercy, Minister Hegseth said.
