Reuters. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told a briefing on Tuesday (March 31) the next few days in the Middle East conflict would be decisive, saying there had been major desertions from the Iranian armed forces.
Hegseth, citing intelligence, said the U.S. and Israeli strikes were damaging the morale of the Iranian military. This, he said, was triggering widespread desertions, key personnel shortages and causing frustration amongst senior leaders.
“We have more and more options, and they have less … in only one month we set the terms, the upcoming days will be decisive,” he said. “Iran knows that, and there’s almost nothing they can militarily do about it,” he said.
Hegseth also said he had visited troops in the Middle East on Saturday (March 28) to witness the military operation against Iran.
