The United States and Israel continued joint airstrikes in Iran for a third consecutive day on Saturday, prompting Iranian counterattacks. On Monday, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated at a Pentagon press conference that the ongoing operation in Iran is not an 'endless war.' He emphasized that the mission’s main objectives are to destroy Iran’s missile and naval capabilities and to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The statement came amid escalating regional tensions following the strikes. Hegseth underscored that the situation in Iran differs from the US experience in Iraq, suggesting a limited scope for the current campaign. Meanwhile, other developments include the death of a Kuwaiti naval officer, NATO’s declaration that it will not engage in the conflict, and Spain’s refusal to allow its bases to be used for attacks on Iran.
Former US President Donald Trump was cited as saying the conflict could last about a month, indicating expectations of a short-term but intense confrontation.
