The US defense secretary further said that the US operation was over, stressing that Washington is not seeking regime change in Iran.

Hegseth also claimed that the intitial assessement is that strikes had "desired effect".

He claimed that the attack was unbelieveable, threatening Tehran not to retaliate as claiming the operation Midnight Hammer was all the US did amid Israeli aggression.
