Hegseth: When the IRGC looks up, all they see is ‘Stars and Stripes and Star of David’

The United States is “decimating the Iranian regime’s military in ways the world has never seen before,” says US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a Pentagon briefing.

He says Iran’s military, which is still capable of launching missiles and drones at its neighbors and Israel, has been made “combat ineffective, devastated.”

Over 15,000 Iranian targets have been hit, says Hegseth. “No other combination of countries in the world” can do what the US and Israelis are doing over Iran, he boasts.

When the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps looks up, says Hegseth, they only see two things on the sides of aircraft — “the Stars and Stripes, and the Star of David — the evil regime’s worst nightmare.”

“Iran has no air defenses,” he continues, “Iran has no air force, Iran has no navy. Their missiles, missile launchers and drones are being destroyed or shot out of the sky.”

He says that Tehran’s missile launches are down 90 percent, and its drone attacks are down by 95 percent.

Iran is “exercising sheer desperation” in the Strait of Hormuz, says US President Donald Trump’s defense secretary.

“It’s something we’re dealing with, have been dealing with, and you don’t have to worry about it,” he promises, amid fears of an extended spike in oil prices.
