Defense Secretary Hegseth: ‘This Mission Was Not, Has Not Been About Regime Change’ President Donald Trump desires a cessation of hostilities and a path towards peace following successful strikes Saturday that devastated Iran’s nuclear capabilities, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made clear Sunday. The strikes to remove the threat of Iranian nuclear attacks on the U.S. or its allies followed Iran’s refusal to meaningfully pursue a peaceful resolution through diplomatic negotiation, which culminated in Israel launching a wide scale missile attack which decimated Iran’s missile defense. Despite war hawks calling to continue operations until the Iranian regime is eliminated, Hegseth insisted the United States will pursue a path to peace now that the threat of Iranian nuclear attack has been eliminated. Trump: Iran Nuke Sites ‘Completely Obliterated’ ‘This mission was not, has not been about regime change,” Hegseth said Sunday morning in a briefing from the Pentagon alongside Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine. “The President authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program and the collective self defense of our troops and our ally Israel.” Hegseth told reporters “the battle damage assessment is ongoing” but “that all of our precision munitions struck where we wanted them to strike, and had the desired effect.” With the strikes complete, a further weakened Iran has a renewed opportunity
