Iran has retained some of its ability to launch offensive missile attacks after a month-long U.S.-Israeli bombardment of the country that was intended to cripple Tehran’s military might, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth acknowledged on Tuesday.
Iran “will still shoot some missiles, but we will shoot them down,” Hegseth said during a Pentagon press briefing.
He added that the past 24 hours saw the lowest number of missiles and drones fired by Iran since the war began, that the morale of the Iranian regime appears to be damaged and that the coming days will be “decisive.”
