US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says the US "devastated the Iranian nuclear programme" with its overnight strikes on three sites
According to Hegseth, the strikes were not meant to overthrow the regime; rather, "President Trump has consistently stated for over 10 years that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon," he asserts. According to Hegseth, the United States sent bombers over the Pacific as a decoy and did not encounter any fire during the operation. In the same Pentagon update, General Dan Caine says the US used 75 "precision guided" weapons, including 14 "Massive Ordnance Penetrators" - also known as "bunker busters"
