"We are accelerating, not decelerating. More bombers and more fighters are arriving just today, he told reporters, adding that the US would be using a nearly unlimited supply of 226kg (500lb), 453kg (1,000lb) and 900kg (2,000lb) bombs. The US and Israel, he said, would sow death and destruction from the sky, all day long."
"Hegseth's combative remarks come five days into the US-Israel war against Iran, which has killed at least 1,045 people across the country since Saturday, according to Iran's semiofficial Tasnim news agency. Legal experts have slammed the offensive as a violation of the United Nations Charter as well as a breach of international law."
"[The] strikes are continuous, he said on Wednesday evening, noting that three-quarters of Tehran's residents have reportedly left the city. The authorities here are accusing the Americans and the Israelis of chaotic strikes against the country, [and a] lack of precision and lack of clarity of targets in this campaign."
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced an intensification of military operations against Iran, stating that additional US forces, bombers, and fighters are arriving in the Middle East. He declared the campaign was accelerating with plans to deploy unlimited supplies of various bomb sizes. The US-Israeli offensive has killed at least 1,045 people across Iran since Saturday. Legal experts have condemned the campaign as violating the UN Charter and international law, while humanitarian organizations express concern over civilian casualties. Civilians in Tehran are experiencing continuous strikes, with three-quarters of residents reportedly evacuating. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks, killing six US service members and eleven people in Israel, while increasingly targeting regional oil and gas infrastructure.
