The US military has confirmed that it launched a series of airstrikes against Iranian military installations in response to Tehran's alleged involvement in attacks on American interests.

Iranian Regime "Are Toast" US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth yesterday warned that the Iranian regime was on the brink of collapse, as he stood alongside Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett at a Pentagon briefing. The comments came amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East following a series of airstrikes targeting key infrastructure in Beirut and Tehran. According to sources close to the negotiations, Hegseth's remarks were made in response to questions from journalists regarding the effectiveness of recent military operations against Iranian-backed militias operating in the region. When asked if he believed the attacks had weakened the regime's grip on power, the Defence Secretary replied, "Iranian Regime 'Are Toast'". The statement was met with a mixture of surprise and alarm among diplomats and analysts monitoring the situation. While some have long predicted that the Iranian regime would eventually succumb to internal pressures and external sanctions, many remain skeptical about the pace and scale of any collapse. In related news, US President Donald Trump is set to defend his administration's military strategy in Congress this week, amid growing criticism from lawmakers over the escalating costs of the war. The Pentagon has reportedly spent billions on military operations and infrastructure projects in the region, with estimates suggesting that the total cost could exceed $10 billion by year's end. Meanwhile, Israeli officials have continued to stress their commitment to taking a leading role in regional security efforts, as tensions remain high along the country's borders with Syria and Lebanon.
