Developing... US Airforce General Dan Caine provides updates We now have comments from US Airforce General Dan Caine during the joint news conference with Hegseth. “We are targeting Iran’s ballistic missile system to prevent them from threatening the US forces, interests and partners in the region,” said Caine. “Second, we are destroying the navy, degrading its capacity, capability and ability to conduct operations … around the world.” And “third, we’re ensuring Iran cannot rapidly rebuild or reconstitute its combat capability or power and those phases will advance as the campaign continues,” said Caine. The next step, said Caine is to “expand inland, striking progressively deeper into Iranian territory and create additional freedom of manouevre for US forces.” |
