Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Iran cannot outlast us.

We're going to ensure through violence of action and our offensive capabilities and our defensive capabilities, as I said, that we set the tone and the tempo of this fight.

And that's why we don't talk about, you know, you can say four weeks, but it could be six, it could be eight, it could be three.

Ultimately, we set the pace and the tempo.

We are tracking them, we are killing them, and we will keep killing them so long as they are poisoning our people with narcotics so lethal that they're tantamount to chemical weapons.
