RT International War Secretary Hegseth claims Tehran’s military output has been crippled, with missile launches down 90% since hostilities began
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has claimed that Iran’s military capabilities have been significantly degraded after Israeli and US forces carried out more than 15,000 strikes on targets across the country.
Speaking at a press briefing on Friday, Hegseth said Iran’s missile volume had fallen 90% and the use of one-way attack drones had dropped 95% since the start of the war, adding that Tehran no longer has the ability to build additional weapons.
Hegseth also dismissed a recent public statement by Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei calling for unity, calling it “weak” and suggesting that the country’s new head of state is “wounded and likely disfigured.”
Khamenei’s father, the previous ayatollah, was killed on the first day of what the new leader described as an unprovoked US-Israeli attack.
Hegseth also touched upon recent statements from top US officials about the US Navy being prepared to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, stating that Washington is still considering its options, describing the waterway as a “tactically complex environment.”
