Iranian missile strikes have dropped to their “lowest number” yet over the past 24 hours, as Operation Epic Fury sparks “widespread desertions” among Tehran’s fighting force, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday morning.

“The last 24 hours saw the lowest number of enemy missiles and drones fired by Iran,” Hegseth told reporters at the Pentagon. “Our strikes are damaging the morale of the Iranian military, leading to widespread desertions, key personnel shortages, and causing frustrations amongst senior leaders.”

“They will go underground, but we will find them,” Hegseth said of the Islamic Republic’s remaining leadership. “We recently destroyed another one of their command bunkers. Leaders forced to flee, no water, no power, no oxygen, no command and control. Their faith in their caves diminishing.”

 

In a stunning blow to Tehran, Iranian missile strikes have plunged to their lowest level in 24 hours as Operation Epic Fury sends shockwaves of desertion rippling through Iran’s military ranks, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth revealed from the Pentagon. With U.S. forces relentlessly shredding command bunkers and decimating missile systems across Iran—including a high-profile ammo depot strike inside the Esfahan nuclear complex—Iranian leaders are now trapped underground, gasping for control as fear and chaos erupt. Dynamic strikes, fueled by real-time intelligence mid-flight, have crushed mobile launchers and troop formations, leaving Iran’s war machine staggering and helpless. Hegseth warned, with grim certainty, that the coming days will seal Iran’s fate, as their once-feared missiles falter and fall to U.S. defenders determined to dominate the battlefield.
