Iran, Hegseth: “We did not start this war, but with Trump we are ending it”

Milan, March 2 (LaPresse) – “Two days ago, under the direct order of President Trump, the Department of War launched Operation ‘Epic Fury,’ the most precise and lethal operation in history.” This was stated by U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, speaking about the military operation launched in Iran during a press conference at the Pentagon. “For 47 years the Iranian regime has waged a unilateral war against America, never openly declared but carried out through attacks in Beirut, against our ships, our embassies, in Afghanistan,” Hegseth continued. “We did not start this war, but with Trump we are ending it.” “It took a president like Trump to put an end to this 47-year-long war,” the Pentagon chief added. The one in Iran “is not a war for regime change, but the regime has changed, the world has improved, and the enemy has been exposed,” he further stated.
