U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Iran is currently “digging out” bombed weapons facilities following major U.S.–Israeli strikes that began after Donald Trump ordered combat operations on Feb. 28. The attacks targeted Iranian military and government sites after tensions rose over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program. Peace talks between the U.S. and Iran failed, leading the U.S. to prepare a blockade of Iranian ports. Meanwhile, Israel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, continues military operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah, saying the ceasefire with Iran does not apply there.
