U.S. War Secretary says Iran campaign is ''only just the beginning''

War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that the U.S.-led military campaign against Iran is “only just the beginning,” as American and Israeli forces enter the second week of strikes targeting Iranian sites. According to Pentagon officials, the operation, called “Operation Epic Fury,” involves more than 50,000 U.S. personnel and has hit over 3,000 locations across Iran.

Hegseth made the remarks in an interview with CBS News correspondent Major Garrett, emphasizing that the campaign remains ongoing and that the military has not yet employed the full range of conventional munitions, including 500-pound, 1,000-pound, and 2,000-pound bombs on military targets. “We haven’t even really begun to start that effort of the campaign, which is gonna showcase even more how we will execute on those objectives,” he said.
