More U.S. forces are arriving in the Middle East with fighter jets and bombers

WASHINGTON, Mar 4: Pete Hegseth, United States Secretary of War, stated that the U.S. is winning its military operation against Iran “decisively, devastatingly, and without mercy.”

He says more forces, including jet fighters and bombers, will soon arrive in the region. He adds that the U.S. “will take all the time we need to make sure that we succeed.”

Dan Caine, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Top U.S. military officials say U.S. forces have adequate munitions for ongoing operations against Iran.

Hegseth added that the military used more advanced weapons at the start of the campaign but was switching to gravity bombs now that the U.S. has control of Iranian skies, and stockpiles of the advanced weapons remain “extremely strong.”
