"We are hunting them down methodically, ruthlessly, and overwhelmingly."

Dan Caine, provide a major update on the war against Iran (Operation Epic Fury). The briefing opens with a tribute to the six U.S. airmen who recently lost their lives, with Secretary Hegseth sharing the resolute message he received from their grieving families: "Finish this." Militarily, the Pentagon leaders outline the unprecedented scale of the operation. Gen. Dan Caine details the deployment of 5,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, B-1, B-2, and B-52 bombers, and A-10 Warthogs to dismantle Iran's military infrastructure. Secretary Hegseth confirms that over 7,000 targets have been struck, Iran's air defenses are flattened, and over 120 Iranian navy ships have been neutralized. During a tense Q&A, Hegseth defends a potential $200 billion supplemental funding request to refill U.S. munitions and answers tough questions regarding Israeli operations, internet blackouts, and civilian casualties. ⏳ Timestamps: 00:00 - Honoring the Fallen: "Finish This" 02:12 - Hegseth Slams the Media & Past Administrations 03:39 - Operation Epic Fury: The Ultimate Objectives 05:51 - 7,000 Targets Hit & Iran's Navy Destroyed 09:37 - Gen.
