Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth announced that the U.S., alongside Israel, launched a military operation against Iran in response to Iran’s long-standing threats to U.S. interests. This action, which began on Saturday, led to the death of Iran’s supreme leader and other key figures, and has involved other Middle Eastern countries. Four American soldiers were killed in Kuwait as a result. Hegseth emphasized that the goal is not to change Iran’s government but to eliminate missile threats, dismantle Iran’s navy, and prevent nuclear development. President Trump stated that the military efforts might last four to five weeks to achieve these goals. This conflict is significant because it could reshape power dynamics in the Middle East and impact global security.
