“Iran has no air defenses. Iran has no air force. Iran has no navy. Their missiles, their missile launchers and drones are being destroyed or shot out of the sky. Their missile volume is down 90%. Their one way attack drones yesterday, down 95%,” Hegseth said a Pentagon press conference.
“As of two days ago, Iran’s entire ballistic ballistic missile production capacity — every company that builds every component of those missiles — has been functionally defeated, destroyed,” he said.

“Buildings, complexes and factory lines all across Iran, destroyed. So we’re shooting down and destroying what missiles they still have in stock, but more importantly, ensuring that they have no ability to make more. Their production lines, their military plants, their defense innovation centers, defeated.”
