U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Monday that military operations against Iran would not lead to an "endless war" and that the aim was to destroy Tehran's missiles, Navy and other security infrastructure.

"We're hitting them surgically, overwhelmingly and unapologetically," Hegseth said during a press conference at the Pentagon.
