United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has vowed that the United States and Israel will have “complete control” of Iran’s airspace.
“Starting last night and to be completed in a few days, in under a week, the two most powerful air forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies, uncontested airspace. I hope all the folks watching understand what uncontested airspace and complete control mean,” said Hegseth.
“It means we will fly all day, all night, day and night, finding, fixing and finishing the missiles and defence industrial base of the Iranian military, finding and fixing their leaders and their military leaders.”
The US Secretary of War made the statement while briefing reporters alongside Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Dan Caine on combat operations against Iran, as the escalation rolls into its third day.
He warned that U.S. and Israeli forces would fly over Tehran and across Iranian skies, conducting operations day and night until they decide the attacks are over, and that Iran would have no ability to stop them.
“Flying over Tehran, flying over Iran, flying over their capital, flying over the IRGC, Iranian leaders looking up and seeing only U.S. and Israeli air power every minute of every day until we decide it’s over,” Hegeth added.
“And Iran will be able to do nothing about it. B-2s, B-52s, B-1s, predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, picking targets, death and destruction from the sky all day long.”
Since the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran on Saturday, the Middle East has been thrown into a crisis. The attack has triggered retaliatory strikes across the Middle East, including on countries hosting US military bases.
The United Nations and other countries have urged the conflicting parties to lay down their arms and resolve their conflict through dialogue, but none of the three countries has shown any sign of peaceful conflict resolution yet.
