Dan Caine Hold a Press Briefing</div> <div align="center" style="font-family: Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #717171; letter-spacing: 3px; text-transform: uppercase;">April 16, 2026</div> <div id="article" style="font-family: Lato, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; color: #333; line-height: 1.5em; padding-top: 25px; border-top-width: 1px; border-top-color: #adadad; border-top-style: solid; margin-top: 25px;"> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH:Â Well, good morning and, as you may have noticed, the Chairman and I are joined today by the CENTCOM commander, Admiral Bradley Cooper. He just returned from the front lines to see the troops and meet with allies and this morning, briefed us just before this briefing on the latest on all aspects of Operation Epic Fury.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">So, after the Chairman concludes, we'll ask Admiral Cooper to share a quick update on the ground truth from his trip to the region as he continues to implement an ironclad blockade and ensures that our forces are maximally postured to restart combat operations should this new Iranian regime choose poorly and not agree to a deal.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And that is what we urge this morning, that this new Iranian regime choose wisely, which is where we'll start with a message to Iran's military leadership. To the CAGE leadership and IRGC leadership, we're watching you. Our capabilities are not the same, our military and yours. Remember, this is not a fair fight.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And we know what military assets you are moving and where you are moving them to. While you are digging out â which is exactly what you're doing, digging out of bombed out and devastated facilities â we are only getting stronger. You are digging out your remaining launchers and missiles with no ability to replace them.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">You have no defense industry, no ability to replenish your offensive or defensive capabilities. You only have what you have; you know that and we know that. You can move things around, but you can't actually rebuild. You can dig out for now, but you can't reconstitute. But we can; we are reloading with more power than ever before. And better intelligence â even more importantly, better intelligence than ever before, as you expose yourself with your movement to our watchful eye.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">We are locked and loaded on your critical dual use infrastructure, on your remaining power generation and on your energy industry. We'd rather not have to do it, but we're ready to go at the command of our President and at the push of a button.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">This blockade, which the Chairman will detail this morning, is the polite way that this can go. Your energy is not moving and will not move, and we can do this all day. But it's not destroyed yet â your energy industry is not destroyed yet. You'd like to say publicly, Iran, that you control the Strait of Hormuz, but you don't have a Navy or real domain awareness. You can't control anything.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">To be clear, threatening to shoot missiles and drones at ships, commercial ships that are lawfully transiting international waters, that is not control, that's piracy, that's terrorism. The United States Navy controls the traffic going in and out of the Strait, because we have real assets and real capabilities, and we're doing this blockade, performing it with less than 10 percent of America's Naval power.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">The math is clear, we're using 10 percent of the world's most powerful Navy, and you have zero percent of your Navy. That's real control and we have a long track record of dealing with pirates and terrorists. But there is an alternative. As our negotiators have said, you, Iran, can choose a prosperous future, a golden bridge. And we hope that you do for the people of Iran.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">In the meantime, and for as long as it takes, we will maintain this blockade â successful blockade. But if Iran chooses poorly, then they will have a blockade and bombs dropping on infrastructure, power, and energy. And at the same time, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and our friends over at Treasury are launching Operation Economic Fury as well, maximizing economic pressure across the entirety of the government. To Iran, choose wisely.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">The world watched, and so did you, as the US military moved seamlessly from major combat operations to a world class blockade. We can make that transition again very quickly and even more powerfully than ever. At the direction of President Trump, the War Department will ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. Never. We'd prefer to do it the nice way through a deal led by our great Vice President and negotiating team or we can do it the hard way. We urge this new regime to choose wisely.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Speaking of choosing wisely â a note to the press, to the press corps, to the American media, as I just can't help but notice the endless stream of garbage, the relentlessly negative coverage you cannot resist pedaling. Despite the historic and important success of this effort and the success of our troops, sometimes it's hard to figure out what side some of you are actually on. It's incredibly unpatriotic.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">This same press corps, not this exact same press corps, but at least an older press corps, bent over backwards during the Biden administration to explain away â you explained away the disastrous and disgraceful Afghanistan withdrawal. You called it the greatest airlift in American history. It's almost like you're cheering only for one side.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">This past Sunday, I was sitting in church with my family, and our minister preached from the book of Mark, the third chapter. And in the passage, Jesus entered a synagogue and healed a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees came to watch, and as the Scripture reads, they came to see whether he, Jesus, would heal him â he would heal him on the Sabbath so that they might accuse him.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">You see, the Pharisees, the so-called and self-appointed elites of their time, they were there to witness to write everything down, to report. But their hearts were hardened. Even though they witnessed a literal miracle, it didn't matter. They were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda. As the passage ends, the Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel against him how to destroy him.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">I sat there in church and I thought, our press is just like these Pharisees. Not all of you, not all of you, but the legacy Trump hating press, your politically motivated animus for President Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors. The Pharisees scrutinized every good act in order to find a violation, only looking for the negative.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">The hardened hearts of our press are calibrated only to impugn. I would ask you to open your eyes to the goodness, the historic success of our troops, the courage of this president, and this historic moment for a deal that could end the Iranian nuclear threat, the incredible battlefield victory laid before your eyes, the not one, but two incredible rescue missions.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Miracles, you might say, or a locked-in blockade. Or how about historic recruiting numbers? Yesterday, we announced that the Air Force and Space Force met new higher goals in FY 26, five months in advance of the end of the fiscal year â five months ahead of time. The Marine Corps and the Army will soon do the same.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Two to three years ago, we couldn't meet lower recruiting numbers, not even close. Where are the reports on that? Where's the coverage of the new spirit in the country, the new spirit in the ranks, the surge of Americans wanting to join the greatest military in the world. Nothing from the fake news. We sense a pattern.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">You see, on the battlefield these are demonstrations of uniquely American capabilities, strength and resolve, it's all around you each and every day. But in the press, you only seek the negative, earning each and every day the fake news label.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">But the American people with goodness in their hearts see past the Pharisees in our press. They see the goodness. You watching, you see the goodness. They see the success. They see the reality. And they don't demand perfection, and perfection is not possible on any battlefield, but they see the incredible feats that our troops accomplish every single day.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">So, to those troops, stay focused, block out the noise. Stay aggressive. You are showing the world what it means to be an American warrior. You are making this building and the American people proud. We pray for you every day and we have your back in every way. And to Iran, choose wisely. I pray you choose a deal, which is within your grasp, for the betterment of your people and for the betterment of the world. In the meantime, the War Department is locked and loaded. Mr. Chairman, over to you.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">GENERAL DAN CAINE:Â Thank you, Mr. Secretary, and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being here today. Last week, the president of United States directed a ceasefire that temporarily paused major combat operations in Iran. The unprecedented effort by America's Joint Force during Operation Epic Fury set the conditions for this ceasefire.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And as the Secretary said, I'd like to emphasize during this pause that the United States Joint Force remains postured and ready to resume major combat operations at literally a moment's notice. This morning, I'd like to give you an update on the ongoing blockade in the CENTCOM AOR, area of responsibility.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">On Monday, 13 April at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, at the direction of the President, America's Joint Force began implementing a blockade against Iran under the leadership of Admiral Cooper and the team at CENTCOM. Let me be clear, this blockade applies to all ships, regardless of nationality, heading into or from Iranian ports.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">The US action is a blockade of Iran's ports and coastline, not a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Enforcement will occur inside Iran's territorial seas and in international waters. In addition to this blockade, the Joint Force, through operations and activities in other areas of responsibility, like the Pacific Area of Responsibility under the command of Admiral Paparo, will actively pursue any Iranian flagged vessel or any vessel attempting to provide material support to Iran.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">This includes Dark Fleet vessels carrying Iranian oil. As most of you know, Dark Fleet vessels are those illicit or illegal ships evading international regulations, sanctions or insurance requirements. More than 10,000 sailors, Marines and Airmen, over a dozen ships and dozens of aircraft are executing this mission.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And let me walk you through this operation a little bit. Please go to the first slide. First to the graphic, this was taken before the blockade began. North is up. You can see the blockade line here in the center of the graphic, denoted by the red dashed line. This map is a pull from our common operating picture that we use to allow commanders and key leaders to see what is happening in near real time, we just grabbed screen grabs to highlight the actions and activities.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">What is not shown is how incredibly congested this area is, and the incredible work that our sailors are doing to ensure that they can work in and around an incredibly busy water space. What is also not depicted here is the massive force of fighters, intelligence aircraft, helicopters and other embarked forces to include aerial refueling tankers that are up overhead this blockade area.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">You'll note that the US forces are in blue, Iranian ships are in are in red. And as we started this blockade, there were seven ships of interest that were of concern for US Central Command. Through a variety of intelligence tools, and with the assistance of the Office of Naval Intelligence and other intelligence agencies, the force began to hunt for potential interdictors at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Next slide please. It's now 12:40 Eastern Daylight Time, two hours and 40 minutes into the blockade as attempted blockade runners attempt to hop the line. US forces began to commit; out in front of them was a range of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and tactical assets. And immediately these runners began to see, sense, and feel America's combat power compressing upon them.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">The lead ship, normally a destroyer as depicted here along with air power off of the USS Abraham Lincoln strike group, began to move towards those ships. At each point, the United States Navy will transmit a warning. A young sailor, normally on the bridge of one of those destroyers, a junior officer, picks up that mic and transmits, and I quote, do not attempt to breach the blockade. Vessels will be boarded for interdiction and seizure, transiting to or from Iranian ports. Turn around or prepare to be boarded. If you do not comply with this blockade we will use force.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And as this message is being transmitted, as I mentioned earlier, those shipmasters can literally see, sense, and feel the pressure around them. It's a finely tuned machine, rehearsed multiple times and executed now 13 times since the blockade has begun.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Next slide please. We're now 24 hours plus into the blockade. You can see the turning around of multiple ships, 12 of which stayed inside the blockade line, one of which not depicted off to the eastern side, turned around before even attempting it.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Any ship that would cross the blockade would result in our sailors executing pre-planned tactics designed to bring the force to that ship, if need be, board the ship and take her over. And that includes a series of escalated force options, which could include warning shots and others.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Next slide. The final graphic shows â taken at 11:20 p.m. the night of 14 April, you can see that the captain of all â captains of all these ships have made the wise decision not to move, transit, or run this blockade. As I mentioned, so far 13 ships have made the wise choice of turning around. And as we continue to hold this blockade at the order of the Secretary and the President, any vessel that compares to comply with our instructions will be dealt with accordingly.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">As of this morning, US Central Command has not been required to board any particular ships. And I'll remind you that we are also conducting similar maritime interdiction actions and activities in the Pacific AOR against those ships that left that area before we began the blockade.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Before I turn it over to Admiral Cooper, I want to talk briefly today about the men and women enforcing the blockade, America's sailors and Marines, and today, particularly our destroyer and surface forces. When we talk about an American destroyer, it's important that you and the American people understand their capabilities. And Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are the backbone of the United States Navy surface fleet. Over 500 feet long, they displace 9,000 tons, and it is the sports car of the United States Navy.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">From the keel to the mass, they stand nearly 10 stories tall, and their four gas turbine engines can drive the ship at 30 plus knots. These ships are armed to the teeth with surface to air missiles, land attack cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, anti-submarine rockets, torpedoes, five-inch naval guns, multiple electronic warfare systems, embarked helicopters, extending the reach and capability of each and every one of these destroyers.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">But far and away, the most important weapon on board these ships is the American sailor. Over 300 warfighters are the heart and soul of these warships. At sea sometimes for months, and these ships out in the CENTCOM AOR have been out there for months, they operate around the clock in a constant state of readiness, always delivering for our Joint Force.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">It's hot in the engine room. The engineering team keeps the lights on and the ship powered and able to respond to the orders from the bridge. On that bridge, our sailors maintain a constant watch, maneuvering the ship tactically and safely through always congested water space, and there is a lot out there. It is like driving a sports car through a supermarket parking lot on a pay day weekend, with thousands of kids in that parking lot as you attempt to maneuver through there to get to that ship that would attempt to run that blockade.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Down in the combat information center, the CIC, the tactical warfare center of the ship, that is where the decisions are made. As threats appear, these young sailors are making real time decisions on how to identify these threats and handle them, and they always deliver. These ships are run by the youngest sailors in our surface warfare Navy.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">The helmsman, the sailor on the watch at the bridge, is normally just between 18 to 19 years old, and they are trusted to drive this warship through that supermarket parking lot without hitting anything. The conning officer, an equally young, commissioned officer who's normally just a few years out of college, is the ones that are giving that young helmsman the orders on where to take that American warship to execute the mission that the Secretary and the President has given us.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">These are incredibly well-trained sailors. They are led by incredible leaders, salty, experienced leaders, and trusted with deep responsibility. And I'm so humbled and proud of America's Navy. These sailors choose to take the road less traveled to go into the historic surface Navy, and they deliver every single day.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Finally, as I often do, I want to highlight one of those surface sailors today and remember our fallen. Today we remember Ensign Robert Thompson to the US Laffey, who died on this day in 1945 in the Battle of Okinawa. He was killed while fighting a fire, along with 31 others, as two Japanese kamikaze aircraft hit their ship. He passed away one week after his 22nd birthday and was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">We remember Ensign Thompson today and all of our World War II vets who continue to give us the gift of a great example. And those surface warfare sailors who are out there doing the job right now, take the courage, grit and determination that those World War II vets gave us into these actions and activities that they're tasked to do every single day. So now I'd like to turn it over to Admiral Cooper to give us a readout of his recent trip to the region.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">ADMIRAL BRADLEY COOPER:Â Well, good morning. And Mr. Secretary, thank you for the kind invitation. And Chairman, great to join you. It's a real honor to be here representing the more than 50,000 American service members deployed throughout the Middle East today, supporting operations. And it's great to have the opportunity to highlight the tremendous efforts our warfighters operating forward and the important partnerships with regional allies that continue to thrive.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">In fact, yesterday I returned from my second trip to the Middle East in the past 15 days, two very different visits, one during our offensive operations against Iran, and the second in this most recent trip during the ongoing ceasefire, very different. During both of my recent trips, I visited with our troops who were deployed across the region in more than 70 different locations in a distance that largely spans between Florida and Arizona.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">I've long believed that every success that we have starts and ends with our people and, boy, does this shine through brightly. During these visits, I had the privilege of personally recognizing more than 100 service men and women for their extraordinary valor, their courage, and their initiative under fire and delivering fire.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And every time I interact with these young men and women downrange, I am deeply inspired by their courage, their resilience, and their unwavering commitment. The stories are remarkable. In many cases you've seen this play out over TV â fighter pilots who took out Iranian missile launchers in the moments prior to their launch against Americans and our partners, and who hit key military targets in and around Tehran on the attack more than 13,000 times.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">I met with some of the teams that helped to bring our F-15 airmen home safely from Iran and heard first person accounts of the stories, absolute heroes. I spent time with our troops who are employing cutting edge tactics and technology for the first time in warfare. I won't be able to talk about what those are, but these young men and women are breaking new ground. It's incredibly inspiring.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">I met with teams who launched our own one-way attack drones into Iran. These were originally Iranian designed drones; we brought them back to America, took the guts out, put a Made American stamp on them and fired them right back to Iran, very effective. Met with teams who were employing AI every single day to help us sift through vast amounts of information to help us make decisions faster. And importantly, humans are always in the loop in this process.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">I met with our Space Force teams and our cyber specialists, whose work cannot be discussed, but who serve with indispensable impact. I met with our logisticians and sustainers all over the region. There is just no military that executes logistics like the US military. This group is doing exceptional work, moving thousands of tons every single day.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">I met with our air defenders who shot down Iranian ballistic missiles. My message for this group in particular, is that their actions most certainly saved thousands of lives across the Middle East during Epic Fury. And all told, my personal assessment is â after these couple of trips is our troops are highly motivated, they're focused, they're vigilant and they're ready. And they're using this time to do a couple of things â we're rearming, we're retooling, and we're adjusting our tactics, techniques and procedures. There's no military in the world that adjusts like we do and that's exactly what we're doing right now during the ceasefire.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">A little note about partners. My discussion with regional allies and partners, both at the senior civilian level and the senior military level, reinforced our shared commitment to regional security. But beyond that, having now fought together side-by-side, I assessed that our military partnerships are stronger than ever as we continue to maintain a very active defense posture across the region during the ceasefire. And that posture stretches across the entire Arabian Peninsula, and it runs from northern Iraq all the way down into the northern Arabian Gulf.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">In creating the largest air defense umbrella in the world across the Middle East, we embedded specially trained US military air defenders alongside our partner nation soldiers, side-by-side, literally side-by-side. And to give you a sense of their contribution and impact, the King and Crown Prince of Bahrain both personally knew our soldiers by name. These leaders expressed appreciation for our service members who continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with our partners in support of regional defense.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And this is a sentiment that is widely shared across every Gulf ally. I heard this message over and over again, which is, we stand with you. As the Secretary and the Chairman have said, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan have been exceptional teammates. I had a chance to meet with both their senior leadership as well as their troops, boy, equally inspiring and equally committed to mutual defense. They defended Americans and defended their own country is inspiring. And there's been no better teammate than Israel.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Together, the four best Air Forces in the world â the Israeli air force, the US Air Force and the Air Forces of the US Navy and US Marine Corps, together met and exceeded our own military objectives over and over again.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Twice in the past two weeks, I've met with the Israeli Chief of Defense to ensure that we remain closely aligned, and we do. And then finally, let me just close by saluting the brave men and women who are in uniform and who continue to answer the call with unrivaled lethality, great teamwork and resolve. We've asked them to stay ready during this period, and that's exactly what they're doing. I couldn't be prouder and I know that you and the American people share in that same pride. Thank you so much.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY HEGSETH:Â All right, we'll take a few questions. Go ahead.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Q:Â Thank you. Alexandra Ingersoll, One American News. How is the Iranians' decimated command and control affecting the ceasefire at this juncture? Ergo, how are we enforcing a ceasefire with an enemy who has virtually no command and control? And then one other question about the Houthis being â have the Houthis been an issue in the Straits of Hormuz and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait at the Red Sea? Are we tracking that militarily?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY HEGSETH:Â Appreciate that. On the ceasefire front, it's right, their command-and-control capabilities are highly degraded, so their ability to talk, see, sense is the worst it's ever been. But their motivation to want to stay in the ceasefire is very high, because they understand that a violation of that ceasefire means a commencement, once again, of Admiral Cooper's forces, which went very poorly for them.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">So, they have a high incentive to maintain that ceasefire, even though they can't talk and organize as well as they'd like to. And as far as the Houthis, thus far, they have stayed out of it, which of course, we think is a good decision by them. And I think it's a reflection of the fact that over a year ago in Operation Rough Rider, we had an ongoing and intense campaign that demonstrated American capabilities, which has them hesitating to want to do something on that Strait, which I think would be a poor choice. Right here.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Q:Â Good morning, Mr. Secretary, gentlemen. David Zere, Real America's Voice. As commercial shipping ramps up â you know, there was 130 ships a day going through. As that happens, ships have to anchor up, right, and wait to pass through the narrow strait. Whatâ is there any progress with an international force to phase out US military led escorts or other? Is anyone stepping up to do that â long term?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY HEGSETH:Â It's a great question. They should be. There's a lot of talk and what we've seen in this conflict from allies and those is a lot of talk, except for the ones that were mentioned by Admiral Cooper in the region who have been phenomenal. Other allies have talked a lot and haven't done anything.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And as the President has pointed out, this is a waterway that American commerce doesn't use all that much. We don't rely on the energy coming out of the Strait of Hormuz, but Asia does, and Europe does, and large parts of the rest of the world do. And so, their ability to muster a collective defense or a clearing of the strait would be a wonderful thing.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And we hear and see the talk about it. But when shots were fired and those countries were needed the most, they weren't there. They weren't in the strait, they weren't alongside us, their leaders weren't rallying what they have of their navies. If they decide after CENTCOM does the heavy lifting, which again, they should be able to do. We should live in a world where other countries can defend waterways, not just the United States Navy.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Should that conclude, which we believe it will, then we would welcome other countries coming in after the fact. But you can't live in a world in perpetuity â and this is a message to the rest of the world and our allies â where you just rely on America to continually do the heavy lifting.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Oh, Iran might get a nuclear bomb. Who's going to do something about it? America and America only. Other allies need to invest in their capabilities so they can project power and do basic tasks like clearing a strait. So, we're not counting on it, but it would be wonderful to see it if it ever materialized. Yes.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Q:Â Thank you, Mr. Secretary, thank you all for your time. I have a couple questions. I know you said a few weeks ago that Iran's supreme leader was wounded and disfigured. Do you have an update on whether he's even alive at this point?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And then another question for youÂ â Iranian embassy accounts are sharing an AI video of Jesus Christ kind of bloodily killing President Donald Trump. Does the Pentagon have a response to this, including the fact that this AI Jesus is casting Trump into hell?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">And then finally, for Admiral Cooper, could you speak to us about the morale of the American service members that you're seeing in the Middle East? I think Americans are really interested in what their experiences and testimonies are like.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY HEGSETH:Â As far as the status of the individual you mentioned, I believe it's the same. Not a lot coming from him right now, understandably so, a lot of fear. Believed to be alive, wounded and disfigured. Status remains the same.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">As far as a video like that, of course, that's disgusting and detached from reality. Iran says a lot of things in the propaganda space based on complete lies, and their actions have been lies. Oh, we don't target â we see missiles going into civilian facilities and hotels in the Gulf states. They say we don't â we only target military targets as you watch drones and missiles go into.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">So, they are going to misrepresent, lie, spin in a multitude of ways, which we are quite used to. Ultimately, they need to come to the table and make a deal. And I'll hand it over to Admiral Cooper for this.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">ADMIRAL COOPER:Â Yeah, I would just reiterate my previous comment, morale is very high. And anyone in the military can take about two seconds to figure out what morale looks like by meeting around with the people. And it is crystal clear these are motivated young men and women.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">I had the wonderful privilege of writing a letter early on in the operation to the team forward, and I told them, this was going to be a mission of extreme consequence and serving at a time where you are making a difference, consequential, as the Secretary and the Chairman have described over and over again, is incredibly and deeply meaningful. And I think that's a key part of the drive, as well as being great teammates across the board. It's a privilege to watch.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY HEGSETH:Â Jerry.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Q:Â Thank you. Jerry Dunleavy with Just the News. I have a couple of questions. The first is some critics of the Trump administration policy, including former NCTC Director Joe Kent, have attempted to claim that the Trump administration's policy of zero enrichment for the Iranians is not actually President Trump's policy, but was foisted upon him by the Israelis. Looking back, doing a bit of a refresher for myself, I saw that zero enrichment was the Trump State Department's policy in the first admin.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY HEGSETH:Â Just stop for a second. As someone who, unlike the individual you referenced, is in the presence of the president nearly every day and has been inside every single key meeting that has happened surrounding the idea of Operation Epic Fury. Not a single thing has been foisted upon the president of the United States.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">President Trump makes his own decisions about the interests of this country and defending our interests, and then working with allies and partners, in this case, Israel, who's got a lot of will and a lot of capabilities, which we're grateful for. Nothing gets foisted on President Trump. So, people who are not in those meetings who like to say things about that are just flat wrong.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Q:Â I have one for Admiral Cooper, if that's okay. Thank you, sir, and thank you for being here. So, during Operation Epic Fury, 13 US service members have lost their lives, some of them in an apparent aircraft refueling accident, and some of them from Iranian strikes, including a drone strike. I was wondering if you could share a little bit with us about how that Iranian â those Iranian strikes were able to be successful. And what lessons you've learned and how you're applying those lessons in the future to make sure that we're able to defend a little bit better against that sort of thing.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">ADMIRAL COOPER:Â So, a really broad question. But first, we will always honor the fallen. And the 13 who lost their lives really helped steel the resolve and congeal the motivation of the forces that are I met many people who knew the fallen personally. I met many who were reported as wounded and are back. 90 percent of those who have been wounded have been back to duty. It gives you a sense of purpose and motivation.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">We have collected dozens, if not hundreds of lessons learned. And as we sit here right now, the Joint Force across the board is taking them and very tactically applying them right now â right here, right now. If I think about a football analogy, if it's between â if it's halftime or between the third and fourth quarter, great teams are always adjusting, and we are certainly a great team. And that's what we're doing right now, taking the lessons and applying them in a meaningful way. What those are I'm not going to talk about.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">GENERAL CAINE:Â I'll say they extend also outside of CENTCOM and across the rest of the Joint Force, we are a learning organization. So, adversaries around the world should recognize that and be aware of that.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY HEGSETH:Â No doubt. And likewise, I mean, the Chairman and I have had the opportunity to greet those 13 and their families at Dover, and it does steel our resolve. And I can just attest to the planning that went into every aspect of this and force protection, ensuring that CENTCOM has whatever it needs and that they're taking the proper posture, has always been a number one in this effort. Last question.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">Q:Â Thank you, Secretary Hegseth. There's reporting that says US intelligence indicates China is preparing weapons shipments to Iran during this ceasefire. What's your reaction? Are these reports accurate? And what would be the consequences for the Chinese if they move forward with these shipments?</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 11px;">SECRETARY HEGSETH:Â Well, as you know, President Trump has a very strong and direct relationship with President Xi. And they communicated on that, and China's assured us that that indeed is not going to happen and â in the spirit of the meeting they'll have next month. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you.</p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> <td id="right-image" class="mobile-hide" style="background: linear-gradient(180deg, #f0f0f0 0%, #ffffff 750px);" valign="top" width="30"><img class="govd_template_image" src="https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USDOD/2021/08/4864083/new-gov-delivery-right_original.png" alt="Right" title="Right2" width="30" height="211" style="width: 30px;

We were in the ground â or on the ground, excuse me, in CENTCOM on Saturday for about half the day. For reasons of operational security so those troops are not targeted, the places and bases will not be named.</p> <p>Suffice it to say, the trip was an honor. I had a chance to bear witness, and I witnessed the best of America. I witnessed warriors, a brotherhood of men and women, warriors all, active-duty, guard and reserve, united in their love for each other, their shared purpose, and their commitment to the mission.</p> <p>I witnessed sheer competency. I watched a private first class confidently calling out an enemy missile trajectory to a room full of officers. Everyone focused, the room was locked in, two enemy missiles successfully shot down. I spoke to Air Force and Navy pilots on the flight line who every day both deliver bombs deep into Iran but also shoot down drones defending their base. Many had just returned from the skies of Iran and Tehran.</p> <p>I put on a headset and spoke to one crew in the cockpit, locked and loaded each and every day. I witnessed ingenuity, American ingenuity. I met the young army officer who figured out how to neutralize maneuvering enemy missiles, saving countless lives. His commander confirmed that the whoops and cheers erupted in the Tactical Operations Center when his new approach was first successful.Â </p> <p>I met the Air Force Intel analyst who refines target packages faster than the enemy can adapt. I actually gave him my card and told him to keep me posted on the ground truth. I did the same with his boss, a colonel with a heart the size of Texas, and a beautiful deployment mustache to match.Â </p> <p>I witnessed lethality. I met a junior airman, as the sun was going down and a chill was setting on the tarmac, who, when asked what they needed, she simply looked up at me with a sly smile on her face and said, more bombs, sir, and bigger bombs. We will happily oblige her.Â </p> <p>I met the Army targeting team who found and sunk the pride and joy of the Iranian Navy, their fighting position plastered with images of sunken enemy ships. And I witnessed urgency â right when we landed, another C-17 landed just minutes after us and within 30 seconds of the aircraft coming to a full stop, a team on the ground pulled up and the cargo was being uploaded â wartime speed.Â </p> <p>To a man and to a woman on the ground, in the air, on the flight line and in the TOC, I heard we want everything faster, higher op tempo, war-time speed. The feeling was the exact opposite of the rotational units year after year in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that we're so familiar with.</p> <p>In those wars, it was always about the next rotation, never knowing when the mission would end or exactly what the mission was year after year. Not with Epic Fury. I witnessed urgency to finish the job; urgency to achieve mission success; not looking at the next rotation, only moving as fast as possible to win.</p> <p>I got a chance to troop the line, to witness firsthand what we already know is true. I spoke to all ranks and all services none of whom knew we were coming. It was not rehearsed or scripted, sometimes we just wandered. What I witnessed was motivation. It was sheer mission focus. It was the American warrior unleashed.</p> <p>It was the kind of warfighting American spirit that comes with a clear mission against a determined enemy. A crew chief we flew with summed it up nicely. He said, it's been a busy few weeks, sir, tough stuff, but I'm so honored to be called up. This fight is long overdue. We need to address it for our kids. We cannot pass the buck. Please thank the president from us. I heard that time and time again.Â </p> <p>I asked each young American, what do you need? And nobody said better equipment, nobody said more comfortable living conditions, nobody said send me home. Well, of course, eventually we want all those things, they do too.</p> <p>But what those Americans said to me, young and old, officer and NCO, male and female, black and white, was, let's finish the mission. Get us even more bombs, bigger bombs, more targets, let us finish this. In fact, Admiral Cooper noted this morning that the three Air Force captains shot down by Kuwaiti friendly fire early in the fight weeks ago? They never left the theater. All dropped bombs over Tehran last night.Â </p> <p>These men and women live the Iranian threat every day, incoming missiles and drones, and know what a world looks like â what the world would look like if Iran had the most dangerous weapons in the world, a nuclear weapon. As President Trump has said time and time again for years, and in this administration, Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, and they won't.Â </p> <p>These troops â they want to finish this fight for their kids and their grandkids. This is about history. This is about legacy. Success matters. And because of this president and these Americans, we're closer than ever before to winning. President Trump is doing what no other president had the guts to do. Previous presidents were all talk. He's all action.Â </p> <p>On the battlefield, because of the latitude the president has given us, American firepower is only increasing. Iran's? Decreasing. We have more and more options and they have less. Just one month in, only one month, we set the terms. The upcoming days will be decisive; Iran knows that and there's almost nothing they can militarily do about it. Yes, they will still shoot some missiles, but we will shoot them down.</p> <p>Of note, the last 24 hours saw the lowest number of enemy missiles and drones fired by Iran. They will go underground, but we will find them. We recently destroyed another one of their command bunkers, leaders forced to flee, no water, no power, no oxygen, no command and control, their faith in their caves diminishing.</p> <p>The latest intel is clear out of CENTCOM, our strikes are damaging the morale of the Iranian military, leading to widespread desertions, key personnel shortages and causing frustrations amongst senior leaders. Just last night, we had 200 dynamic strikes alone.Â </p> <p>A dynamic strike is a strike where a pilot leaves, and during their flight, they get a new target set based on real-time intel given to them. A new launcher, a new location, a new troop formation. A dynamic target is one that changes while you're in the air because of improved intelligence. Two hundred dynamic strikes alone in addition to the pre-planned targets.Â </p> <p>The video the president posted last night of Isfahan, an ammo depot, struck by U.S. bombers. You see, you don't get to see many of those videos because, as a reminder, Iran has still shut off the internet to 99.9 percent of its population. But if Iran is wise, they will cut a deal. President Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down. You can ask Khamenei about that. The new Iranian regime should know that by now.Â </p> <p>This new regime, because regime change has occurred, should be wiser than the last. President Trump will make a deal, he is willing. And the terms of the deal are known to them. If Iran is not willing, then the United States War Department will continue with even more intensity.Â </p> <p>Standing here this morning in this briefing room, in my mind's eye, I'm actually looking out at the groups I met this weekend, the pilots, the logisticians, the intel analysts, the targeters, the sustainers, the flight crews, the air defenders, the base security, those maintainers who we walked up at sunset with a chill in the air on the flight line.</p> <p>May God watch over all of them each day and each night. May his almighty and eternal arms of providence stretch over them and protect them and bring them peace, in the name of Jesus Christ and Amen. Mr. Chairman, over to you.</p> <p>GENERAL DAN CAINE: Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Good morning, everyone, and thank you again for being here. As operations continue, I remain deeply grateful for the service and determination of 2.8 million members of our Joint Force, each of whom are serving something greater than themselves. Every day, those deployed and, in many cases, those at home who are deploying forward and bomber pulses and others put themselves in harm's way and we owe them a deep debt of gratitude.Â </p> <p>I remain especially grateful for our fallen who gave the ultimate sacrifice. We'll never forget their valor and their determination to do something greater than themselves. And each day we continue to earn what they've given to us.Â </p> <p>This morning I want to share that yesterday, the Joint Force had the honor of participating in the burial of Colonel Clarence Emil "Bud" Anderson, who passed away in May of 2024 at the ripe old age of 102. He was laid to rest in Arlington Cemetery yesterday morning alongside his wife of 70 years, Eleanor, who he married on February 23rd, 1945. She passed away in 2015 at the age of 92.Â </p> <p>Bud, yesterday, a legend to our Air force and fighter pilots everywhere, was honored with a combination flyby of F-35s and a four ship of P-51 Mustangs. He was one of the most prolific flying aces of World War II and the highest scoring P-51 ace with 16.25 kills in his squadron and in his group. And he served from 1942 to 1972, and his last combat tour was flying F-104 Thunderchiefs over North Vietnam.Â </p> <p>For anyone that had the chance to meet Colonel Andersen, you knew what an incredibly special man he was. And that's true for each and every one of our World War II vets, who become fewer and fewer with each passing day. They are the greatest generation and give us the gift of an incredible example as we execute Operation Epic Fury today. And Colonel Anderson, we mourn for your loss and remember that smile on the right side as you went out to do our nation's business.</p> <p>I'd like to now share an operational update. Our Joint Force continues to focus on our military objectives as we systematically continue to degrade and destroy Iran's ability to project power and threaten stability beyond its borders.Â </p> <p>First, the Joint Force continues to destroy Iran's ballistic missile and UAS capabilities. We remain focused on interdicting and destroying the logistical and supply chains that feed these programs. And this remains a truly joint effort prosecuted around the clock from air, land, sea, space and cyberspace.Â </p> <p>Long-range bombers from U.S. Strategic Command are coordinating with tactical fighter aircraft from our Joint Force launched from bases around the region and the continental United States, while simultaneously Navy fighters from the sea and sailors continue to project power from the sea, while army and marine artillery units continue to execute long-range precision fires deep into enemy territory against high-value targets.</p> <p>Meanwhile, on the defense side, our army and air defenders and aviators, as the Secretary talked about, remain vigilant, forming a shield to protect our forces and our partners, intercepting missiles and drones. Together, we continue to deliver precision strikes against key manufacturing nodes, component storage sites, research facilities deep within Iranian territory.</p> <p>And over the past 29 â I'm sorry, 30 days, we've struck more than 11,000 targets. Given the increase in air superiority, we've successfully started to conduct the first overland B-52 missions, which allow us, as we've said before, to continue to get on top of the enemy and, as the Secretary talked about, switch towards more and more dynamic targets servicing mobile targets around the battle space. We've continued to do the work against Iran's missile, drone and naval production facilities, and we continue the multi-domain pressure that we've talked about.Â </p> <p>Second, on the Navy front, we continue to assert dominance over the Iranian Navy. We remain focused on targeting their mine-laying capability, their naval assets. And we've now, as I mentioned briefly last time, started to work attack helicopters and other close air support assets into the naval domain. CENTCOM continues to identify and work against naval depots and storage areas. And we've taken out, again, more than 150 ships, including all Jamaran-class frigates inside their Navy.</p> <p>Third, we continue to prosecute our campaign against our defense industrial base at scale. This includes factories, warehouses, nuclear weapons research and development labs, and the associated infrastructure required for Iran to reconstitute its combat capability.Â </p> <p>I'd like to continue my theme of highlighting the incredible contributions of Americans to our Joint Force. Today, I want to talk a little bit about a different front line, a line that doesn't have bunkers or guard posts, but is just as critical to our nation's security â our National Assembly lines.Â </p> <p>Today, I want to recognize a group of Americans who live at the beginning of our nation's combat power, the Americans who actually make our weapons both inside our defense industrial base, but even more broadly inside our national industrial base.Â </p> <p>In every military option we could not and cannot do our jobs without the men and women across our country who show up every day around the clock to a factory floor, a workshop, a laboratory who build the weapons and capabilities we need to project American combat power at the time and place of our choosing.Â </p> <p>These great Americans, and I've had a chance to spend some time with them when I was in the private sector, are the core of American combat power. They're the machinists running high-tech CNC machines, cutting raw blocks of metal into incredibly precise parts. They're the assembly workers, painstakingly taking a kit of parts and turning that into a complex guidance system or precision munition, or a rocket motor, or building a jet or submarine. Or the quality assurance technicians who ensure that, when a warfighter pulls a trigger, the weapon works every time.</p> <p>This can be and is tough and gritty work. It's not a quiet office and a desk with paper, and there's nothing wrong with that. But this is exactly the way this group of Americans likes it. I know this, I've seen it myself, and I remain deeply honored by that gift. It's often loud and dangerous work, demanding, requires absolute focus for hours at a time, with deep commitment to get it right every single time.</p> <p>It's hands-on work where one uncaught mistake or deviation can put an American's life at risk. A single misplaced wire, a microscopic flaw in a weld, incorrectly calibrated sensor could mean the difference between mission success or mission failure. Difference is measured in the lives of our sons and daughters who we put around the field and on the field of battle.</p> <p>We rely on and trust in these great Americans, and it's not just their manufacturing skill, it's their innovative minds and their entrepreneurial spirit. From those who build exquisite capabilities down to the mom-and-pop machine shops all over this great country, they live at the beginning of and the core of America's combat capability, constantly adapting, constantly improving, constantly learning.Â </p> <p>And there are examples of this throughout history and current days, to include building things like the F-117 stealth fighter, the B-2 stealth bomber, making our combat capability undetectable over the enemy, to today's B-21 and F-47. It's work, like in the shipyards of the East Coast and northeast side of the United States, that go out and build America's nuclear submarines that allow us to patrol around the world at the time and place of our choosing.</p> <p>These innovators, these workers, these incredible Americans, don't get the same glory as a fighter pilot returning to a carrier deck at night, or an artilleryman sending rounds downrange. And yet, they show up every single day, and without them, we could not do the work that we are tasked to do.Â </p> <p>24/7 they build the tools that we need to do our business, the skill, the commitment, the patriotism, the dedication poured into every piece of combat capability and hardware is seen and felt out at the edge of the of the force, as the Secretary talked about those young bomb builders out in the desert that he had the chance to see.</p> <p>You can see it, you can feel it and it's real and we're deeply grateful. So, to the American workforce out there, both inside our defense industrial base and in our national industrial base, thank you on behalf of the Joint Force. We carry the weapons that you build, we rely on the systems that you create, and the distance from that factory floor and that assembly line to the front line is incredibly short. Thank you, keep it up.Â </p> <p>And to our adversaries out there, I remind you to beware of the American workforce. We continue to press forward in our military objectives. The Secretary and I remain deeply humbled by the spirit, tenacity, commitment and grit of our 2.8-million-member strong Joint Force. I want to, as always, thank the force and their families. And as always, remember our fallen. We carry with them and their names every day. Sir, I'll turn it back over to you.</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Two things â he didn't note it, but in memory of Colonel Bud Anderson, the chairman himself flew his F-16 to honor him recently. And thank you for highlighting the defense industrial base, the arsenal of freedom. It's worth noting no one has rebuilt that defense industrial base faster and with more purpose than President Trump in his first term.</p> <p>And now we're rebuilding the arsenal of freedom. Our defense industrial base is more vibrant today than it's been since World War II and growing rapidly. Contrast that with Iran, whose defense industrial base is nearly completely destroyed. Their ability to reconstitute the weapons of war they're using now that they're hiding in underground facilities and attriting over time. Their ability to rebuild that is negligible, and I think that contrast is an enduring legacy of this as well. Right here.</p> <p>Q: Thank you for your time. We've had some signaling that the U.S. will retake control of the Strait of Hormuz. At that point, what military posture will be imposed to guarantee safe passage for our allies, deter our enemies and demonstrate U.S. dominance in the region? And also, can you speak to how much America's adversaries, Russia, China and North Korea, how much they're supporting Iran's war machine at this point with arms and intelligence and what we are militarily doing to punish the enemy coalition?</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: Appreciate both questions. On the Strait of Hormuz, there are many more vessels flowing through today than there were, as the president has arranged. The president's been clear to Iran, open it for business or we have options, and we certainly do. And when you look at what the chairman laid out with the Navy, with the Navy industrial base, with coastal cruise missiles, with UAVs, with Counter-mine capabilities, we've been focused from the beginning on attriting and defeating those capabilities and limiting their options.</p> <p>There's lots we're doing as well, some of which is known, some of which is not known, to set the conditions. And I think the president was clear this morning in his truth, that there are countries around the world who ought be prepared to step up on this critical waterway as well. It's not just the United States Navy.</p> <p>Last time I checked, there was supposed to be a big, bad Royal Navy that could be prepared to do things like that as well. So, he's pointing out this is an international waterway that we use less than most, in fact dramatically less than most. So, the world ought pay attention to be prepared to stand up. President Trump's been willing to do the heavy lifting on behalf of the free world to address this threat of Iran.</p> <p>It's not just our problem set going forward, even though we have done the lion's share of preparation to ensure that that strait will be open, which is an outcome the president's been very clear on.Â </p> <p>As far as Russia and China, we know exactly what they're doing, what they are or are not doing. We don't have to air publicly what all of that is. But where necessary, we're addressing it, we're mitigating it, or we're confronting it head on. I don't know if you have anything you want to add.</p> <p>GENERAL DAN CAINE: No, sir, I think you covered it.</p> <p>Q: Do you have a timeline for operability in the Strait?</p> <p>Q: Thank you, Mr. Secretary. David Zeer, Real America's Voice. And I witnessed that enthusiasm on the lines in our submarine builders and ironworks, it's unbelievable. But I just wanted to ask you, what's the status of the delivery of any hardened bunkers for additional protection for our troops? And without getting too specific, what kind of measures are we taking to protect some of the larger, more strategic aircraft like the sentry and other?</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: It's a great question. I'll say what I witnessed where I went was a completely locked in discipline of bunker use and bunker improvement. So, from the beginning, as we stated very clearly, the first thing we did was set up a defense and make sure our defensive capabilities were maxed out before any of this even started.</p> <p>That included fortifications as much as possible, but it also included disbursement. If all of our people are in one place, you can imagine why that's a big problem. So, dispersing is part of that defeat. Alongside that disbursement is more and more bunkers. And I can tell you, talking to base commanders, talking to our allies in Israel, talking to others, rapidly fielding that and then improving those positions is a theater priority, no doubt, as are the air defenses and the layered air defenses.</p> <p>It's not just Patriots and THAADs, it's fighters and defensive CAPs, it's other kinetic defeat systems, it's electronic warfare. So, the defense of our troops and our assets is max. I will say on some of those other assets you talked about, air wings, airframes, there's some things adversaries are doing to provide info and intel that they shouldn't. We're aware of it.Â </p> <p>And ultimately, we move things around and don't â one of the biggest principles you learn in the military is to not set patterns, predictable patterns. And so, commanders are working hard to adjust in real time with those systems and make sure they're in the right places and not easily targetable. Jillian.</p> <p>Q: Thanks, Mr. Secretary. The U.S. and Iran appear right now publicly to disagree about whether there are these negotiations ongoing. What impact does that have on military strategy? Does it have any bearing at all? And general, the president wrote yesterday that the U.S. might destroy Iran's electricity generating plants and oil wells, those are his words, before ending this operation. Is there a way to do either of those things without, like, seriously jeopardizing or seriously harming civilians?</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: So, on the talks, I can tell you, having been with Steve and Jared and the vice president, Marco and many others yesterday, they are very real, they are ongoing, they're active, and I think gaining strength and we appreciate that. As I said in my remarks, we would much prefer to get a deal. If Iran was willing to relinquish material they have and ambitions they have, open the Strait, that's the goal.Â </p> <p>We don't want to have to do more militarily than we have to. But I didn't mean it flippantly when I said, in the meantime we'll negotiate with bombs. Our job is to ensure that we compel Iran to realize that this new regime, this regime in charge, is in a better place if they make that deal. And so, we'll continue. We're working hand in hand, but the primary effort is a deal. We want that deal to be accomplished if at all possible. If not, then we're prepared to continue. Go ahead, Mr. Chairman.</p> <p>Q: <span>[Crosstalk]</span></p> <p>GENERAL DAN CAINE: Yeah, thanks for the question. We're always thinking about those considerations and develop options to be able to mitigate those risks pursuant to the normal practices that we do in the military.</p> <p>Q: Thank you, Mr. Secretary. I know you slightly addressed this already, but just on the Strait of Hormuz, is opening the Strait an essential objective to Operation Epic Fury, or is that the job of those other countries? And then secondly, without asking you to comment on things that you can't talk about, what is your message to Americans who love the president and strongly believe in him, but are very worried about this notion of boots on the ground?</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: Well, first, on the Strait of Hormuz, our core objectives from this podium, from day one, from me, from the chairman, from the president, from the vice president, from Secretary Rubio and others have been clear. Defense missile production and missile programs, so their entire missile program, defense industrial base and production ability to build, and navy and power projection.</p> <p>So, those are â and then of course, wrapping it all is Iran's never going to have a nuclear weapon. So, those have been very clear. Defeating the Navy is a core part of ensuring they can't project that kind of power. But ultimately, I think the president's truth this morning lays that out very well, that this Strait of Hormuz issue, which we've set the conditions for success, and we will make sure Iran knows that very clearly, is not just in a United States of America problem set.Â </p> <p>We've been willing to lead; President Trump's led the entire time, but it's not just us. So, ultimately, I think other countries should pay attention when the president speaks. He's proven that when he speaks, he means something. And he's pointing out you might want to start learning how to fight for yourself. It's something some of us have been saying for quite some time. You can't just have flags; you have to have formations. You can't just have a few ships; you have enough to affect change.Â </p> <p>Those things matter in a dangerous world with ascendant adversaries. That's why the president â that's why the chairman's talking about our industrial base. That's why we're launching the Arsenal of Freedom Tour to revive our defense industrial base, President Trump doing it in a way that nobody else has.Â </p> <p>As far as President Trump and boots on the ground, I don't understand why the base â which they have already, they understand, wouldn't have faith in his ability to execute on this. Look at his track record of pursuing peace through strength, America First outcomes. And what he's simply saying and it's exactly true and I've said from this podium too, we're not going to foreclose any option.Â </p> <p>You can't fight and win a war if you tell your adversary what you are willing to do or what you are not willing to do, to include boots on the ground. Our adversary right now thinks there are 15 different ways we could come at them with boots on the ground. And guess what? There are.Â </p> <p>So, if we needed to, we could execute those options on behalf of the president of the United States and this department. Or maybe we don't have to use them at all. Maybe negotiations work, or maybe there's a different approach. The point is to be unpredictable in that; certainly not let anybody know what you're willing to do or not do.Â </p> <p>But if anybody has internalized the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan as the first one, President Trump, to call them out for what they are, he's not going to repeat those lessons. And I think I've been very clear about that from the podium.</p> <p>Q: Thank you, Secretary Hegseth. A question for you and then a question for General Caine. You said we're a month into Operation Epic Fury. How long until the objectives are achieved? And is there a scenario where a deal is struck before the objectives have been achieved?Â </p> <p>And then for General Caine, there's been lots of media coverage that suggested a ground invasion is imminent. What other purposes might the soldiers and the Marines who have been deployed over to the Middle East serve in this conflict?</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: Well, just like the previous question, it's sort of Military 101. Don't tell your enemy what you're willing to do or not do, and don't tell your enemy when you're willing to stop, especially an enemy that likes to hide in bunkers and try to hoard their missiles and hope he'll wait you out. So, that's not a question I'm going to answer, or the president has said definitively. We have our own goals and guidance and things we're â military objectives that we're moving toward and things that we look at.Â </p> <p>And as he's articulated, he's said four to six weeks, six to eight weeks, three â it could be any particular number, but we would never reveal precisely what it is because our goal is to finish those objectives and we're well on our way.</p> <p>And the chairman and I look at this every single day. It will be the president's determination, and the president's determination alone, when those objectives are complete and when it serves the interest of the American people to cut that deal, to make sure that Iran doesn't have a nuclear capability. And ultimately that our objectives or our interests are advanced. I don't know if you want to add anything, Mr. Chairman.</p> <p>GENERAL DAN CAINE: No, just to answer your question, Reagan, you know, the range of military options that those forces can offer are extensive, not just limited to what you mentioned in terms of forces on the ground. And I wouldn't want to take away the president's decision space, but there are a multitude of things, not the least of which is Iran should note that they're out there and that they are a pressure point. And so, they should carefully consider, I think, at the diplomatic level, not my job as the chairman, but at the diplomatic level to consider what's in front of them.</p> <p>Q: <span>[Crosstalk]</span></p> <p>OK, Mr. Secretary, the U.S. government IC assessed for many years that Iran is protecting Al-Qaeda senior leaders, including the current emir, Saif al-Adel. Does the U.S. assess that he's still in Iran? Has he fled to Afghanistan? Is he on a target list?Â </p> <p>And Mr. Chairman, based on CENTCOM figures and open source, Iranian daily missile barrages and drone launches have indeed dropped dramatically since the start of the war. But they're not at zero, and they seem to have maintained some level of low but stable numbers. Perhaps they've dropped a little bit more in recent days. How do we get that closer to zero? And what impact is Iran's degraded but still very real capability impacting current and future operations?</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: So, I won't speak to a particular target; I'll just say that Al-Qaeda remains our enemy, obviously, and there are a lot of people on our target list in Iran. And if they were to be harboring Al-Qaeda, they would certainly fit that list.</p> <p>GENERAL DAN CAINE: Just quickly, you know, the mobile targets that they have that we continue to service as the secretary talked about the 200 hits that were done last night, that's one component of continuing to lower that. The second and more long-term impact that we're having is the strikes against their defense industrial base at scale, which will not allow them to reload after that. So, we do continue to see it trend down. They are still shooting and we do continue to exert significant pressure against both sides of that system.</p> <p>Q: Mr. Secretary, thank you for the question. Do you still believe â you said previously that the Iranian leadership would surrender? Do you still believe that? And is the United States still committed to NATO's collective defense? And to Chairman Caine, could you give us a sense of your thinking about the legality of striking desalinization plants if the president were to order that?</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: I would just say that any mission that ends on our terms, call it a surrender, call it a defeat, call it what you want, we remain committed to a conflict that ends on our terms and the president's terms, there's no doubt about that. And as far as NATO is concerned, that's a decision that will be left to the president.</p> <p>But I'll just say, a lot has been laid bare. A lot has been shown to the world about what our allies would be willing to do for the United States of America when we undertake an effort of this scope on behalf of the free world. These are missiles that don't even range the United States of America, they range allies and others.</p> <p>And yet, when we ask for additional assistance or simple access, basing and overflight, we get questions or roadblocks or hesitations. And the president's pointing out you don't have much of an alliance if you have countries that are not willing to stand with you when you need them. He's simply pointing that out. And ultimately, it'll be his decision of what that looks like after this is complete.</p> <p>GENERAL DAN CAINE: I'll just â I won't talk about any particular target, this really builds on Jillian's question, too, that I don't think I completely answered. But the Joint Force is the most professional force in the world, and we have numerous processes and systems to carefully consider the whole range of considerations, from civilian risk to legal considerations with any target. And as targets come before us, we run them through the same process that we always do and always strike lawful targets in accordance with the normal procedures that we use.</p> <p>Q: General Caine, do you agree with no quarter, no mercy for enemy combatants as Hegseth has said?</p> <p>Q: <span>[Crosstalk]</span></p> <p>Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Thank you, I appreciate it. On Sunday, President Trump said that Iran's first regime was all destroyed in the second one is mostly dead, and the third regime that we're on right now has been much more reasonable in negotiations. Do you agree with that assessment and why?</p> <p>SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH: I would defer to the negotiating team there. They're the ones talking to him, but they're getting a back-and-forth on terms, which is a productive development. We stand right there next to our negotiating team, always willing and prepared to put them in an even better position. Thank you very much.</p> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> <td id="right-image" class="mobile-hide" style="background: linear-gradient(180deg, #f0f0f0 0%, #ffffff 750px);" valign="top" width="30"><img class="govd_template_image" src="https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USDOD/2021/08/4864083/new-gov-delivery-right_original.png" alt="Right" title="Right2" width="30" height="211" style="width: 30px;
