The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has entered its 12th day. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Tuesday was the most intense day of U.S. strikes on Iran. Iranian authorities say U.S. and Israeli forces have bombed nearly 10,000 civilian sites in the country and killed more than 1,300 civilians since the war began. This morning, Iran says it targeted Israel’s military intelligence agency, a naval base in Haifa and an Israeli radar system. Meanwhile, the Pentagon says that Iranian strikes across the region have so far injured 140 service members, killing seven U.S. troops. This is White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Steve Holland: “What is your current timeline for how long the war will last?”
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “So, look, as you know, Steve, the president and the U.S. military’s initial timeline was about four to six weeks to achieve the full objectives of Operation Epic Fury, again, to destroy their missiles and their ability to make them, destroy their navy, permanently deny them nuclear weapons forever and to, of course, weaken their evil terrorist proxies in the region.”
