Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Sunday insisted that U.S. officials are not seeking regime change in Iran following American military airstrikes against nuclear facilities there. But he warned that any response for those actions “will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed” this weekend. “All of our precision munitions struck where we wanted them to strike and had the desired effect,” Hegseth told reporters during an early morning press conference hours after the military assault.

President Donald Trump’s decision to launch airstrikes against Iran nuclear facilities this weekend drew immediate condemnation from congressional Democrats but initial support from key Republicans who saw the move as necessary. “Our commander-in-chief has made a deliberate — and correct — decision to eliminate the existential threat posed by the Iranian regime,” said Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker, R-Miss., in a statement.

How a good PAO could spin Peter Griffin’s unapologetic havoc

1 week ago | militarytimes.com | Clay Beyersdorfer

For over two decades, Peter Griffin has wreaked havoc on Quahog with unapologetic flair. He’s fought giant chickens in public intersections, started multiple cults and once launched his own cable news network that nearly caused a civil war. To the average Family Guy viewer, he’s a buffoon at best and a walking inspector general complaint at worst. But to those who’ve served in the military, Peter’s real problem isn’t his behavior — it’s his lack of a competent public affairs officer.

The U.S. is shifting military aircraft and warships into and around the Middle East to protect Israel from Iranian attacks as President Donald Trump warns Tehran to step back from the conflict. Trump’s social media posts saying his patience with Iran was “wearing thin” have raised the possibility of deepening U.S. involvement, perhaps by using the bunker-busting bomb to strike a key Iranian nuclear site built deep underground in the mountains.
US troops, bases in Middle East could be targets in conflict with Iran

If President Donald Trump opts to launch military strikes against Iran, hostile forces in the region likely won’t be able to launch direct attacks against the U.S. homeland. But American military targets in the region will face significant dangers. During questioning from senators Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said officials are providing a number of possible options regarding Iran to Trump, while also focusing on the safety of American forces.
