US 'achieved every single objective' in the Iran war, White House ...
The White House has reaffirmed its claims to have “achieved every single objective” set out since the start of the Iran war. In a post on social media, it said Iran’s Navy was “destroyed” along with Tehran’s defence industrial base “annihilated” and its nuclear ambitions “denied”. “Iran’s ability to threaten the region has been systematically dismantled,” the White House added. Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth also declared a decisive military victory over Iran and said that Tehran’s missile programme has been functionally destroyed. Hegseth and General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke to reporters on Wednesday, a day after US President Donald Trump pulled back from the brink of a threatened full-on assault on Iran two hours before a deadline he had set for Tehran to open the blockaded Strait of Hormuz. “Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield.

We know what they have, and they will give it up, and we’ll get it. We’ll take it if we have to,” Hegseth told reporters. Iran also declared “victory” after Trump’s ceasefire announcement with the country’s Supreme National Security Council calling on its citizens to remain united until details of its victory in the war are finalised, the IRNA news agency says. “We congratulate all the people of Iran on this victory and emphasise that until the details of this victory are finalised, there is still a need for perseverance and prudence on the part of the authorities,” the council said in a statement, a...
