United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that Washington will carry out its most intense strikes on Iran since the conflict began 10 days ago.
“Today (March 10) will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran,” Hegseth told a news conference at the Pentagon.
Regional tensions have surged since the United States and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran on Feb. 28. The strikes have reportedly killed more than 1,200 people and injured more than 10,000 others.
Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq and several Gulf countries hosting U.S. military assets.
