Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said today will again be the most intense day of strikes inside Iran, with more fighters, bombers, and operations, backed by refined intelligence. He also noted that in the last 24 hours Iran fired the smallest number of missiles they were capable of firing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; On Day 10 of what\u2019s described as Operation Epic Fury, Hegseth said the goal is to wipe out Iran\u2019s missile stockpiles and launchers, and to cripple the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\u2019 ability to produce such weapons. The U.S. also aims to destroy the IRGC navy and prevent the Iranian government from obtaining nuclear weapons \u201cforever.\u201d He claimed the U.S. is crushing the enemy with overwhelming technical and military capability.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Iran may try to hide its missile launchers, but U.S. forces will keep searching and will neutralize them when found. Hegseth argued this is not like 2003 or endless nation-building; it\u2019s a different kind of conflict, with a clear timeline and set objectives. He asserted that the next generation of soldiers, and the current president, will not allow the older, never-ending missions to return.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; He asserted that U.S. forces are delivering overwhelming firepower around the clock, claiming total air dominance, and noting that Iran\u2019s allies and proxies (such as Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas) are weakened, broken, or sidelined.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The text also contains unrelated web page elements (scripts, form fields, and UI placeholders) that aren\u2019t part of the core narrative and aren\u2019t included in this paraphrase<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2578122,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Michael-Featured-Image-780.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[22666,32404,32726,28997,75465],"class_list":["post-2578121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-airstrikes","tag-geopolitics","tag-middle-east","tag-us-iran","tag-war-updates"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Michael-Featured-Image-780.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2578121"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578121\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2578125,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578121\/revisions\/2578125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2578122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2578121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2578121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2578121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
