The Pentagon did not disclose what stage the operation "Epic Fury" is at.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth refused to disclose what stage the U.S. operation against Iran is at, noting that it is "not for him to decide" what stage it is at.

This was reported by foreign media outlets.

"It's not for me to decide whether this is the beginning, the middle, or the end," Hegseth said at a press conference on the progress of Operation "Epic Fury" against Iran.
