Pete Hegseth, the secretary of war, announced on Friday a volume of strikes against the rogue Islamic regime in Iran: the “highest.”
Its leaders have consistently insisted they will wipe Israel from the map, and they have outlined attacks on both the little “Satan,” Israel, as well as the “great Satan,” the United States.
Hegseth said Friday was to have “again the highest volume of strikes that America has put over the skies of Iran and Tehran” as part of Operation Epic Fury, intended to remove the possibility that Iran could obtain nuclear weapons and threaten others around the world.
Hegseth explained, according to a Fox News report, “American and Israeli militaries are ‘picking targets as they choose’ thanks to aerial dominance over Iran.”
He said, “between our Air Force and that of the Israelis, over 15,000 enemy targets have been struck.”
Here are some of the views from the front row of seats:
