Caption: US Objectives ‘On Target’ in Iran War, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Says. Pete Hegseth said U.S. military objectives in Iran remain “on target and on plan”. He confirmed the goals include destroying Iran’s missile launchers, defense industry and naval capabilities, while preventing nuclear weapons development. Hegseth said the latest phase would mark the largest day of strikes so far in the conflict. Dan Caine said operations are expanding deeper into Iranian territory. U.S. forces have also struck Iran-aligned militia groups in Iraq to protect American personnel and interests. Officials declined to set a timeline for ending the operation, saying the decision rests with Donald Trump. The Pentagon is seeking more than $200 billion in funding from Congress as war costs continue to rise. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
