On Tuesday, March 10, the US plans to deploy the maximum number of fighter jets against Iran and launch the most extensive strikes to achieve its goals. This was stated by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at a briefing, CBS reported.

The Pentagon chief said that on the tenth day of Operation Epic Fury, Iran is in a difficult situation and is suffering serious losses.

Hegheseth also noted that Tehran has fired a minimal number of missiles over the past 24 hours. He criticized Iranian attacks on neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf region, stressing that some of them were previously considered Iran's allies.

The US defense minister stressed that the most powerful strikes are aimed at achieving three key goals: destroying Iran's navy, eliminating its missile arsenal and depriving the country of the ability to develop nuclear weapons.
