"Hegseth stated that Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, achieving every single objective, including the destruction of Iran's navy, air defense system, and missile production capability."
"The ceasefire deal with Iran means Tehran will never, ever possess a nuclear weapon. Iran's new leadership begged for a ceasefire because it was out of options and out of time."
"Hegseth admitted that Iran is not completely defenseless, stating, 'They can still shoot, we know that, but that would be very unwise.'"
"On monitoring Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, Hegseth said, 'We're watching it. We know what they have, and they will give it up, and we'll get it. We'll take it if we have to.'"
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a decisive military victory over Iran, stating that Tehran's missile program has been functionally destroyed.

Hegseth acknowledged that while Iran remains capable of limited defense, the US military will monitor compliance with the ceasefire and Iran's uranium stockpile. Iran also claimed victory following the ceasefire announcement.
