Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the U.S. and Israel expect to obtain “complete control of Iranian skies” within a few days.
Hegseth at a press briefing said this means that Iranian leaders will be “looking up and seeing only us and Israeli air power every minute of every day, until we decide it’s over and Iran will be able to do nothing about it.”
