U.S. Military Expected to Achieve “Total and Absolute” Control of Iranian Airspace

White House Statements
During a press briefing, Karoline Leavitt emphasized that U.S. forces expect to dominate Iranian skies very soon, highlighting that military operations are proceeding intensively.
Washington Continues Air Operations
Earlier, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that the United States aims to achieve full control of Iranian airspace. He added that American forces would continue conducting flights “around the clock” to locate Iranian missiles and military-industrial facilities, with the goal of targeting and destroying them.
Decline of Iranian Military Capabilities
According to Hegseth, Iran’s military capabilities are gradually diminishing, while U.S. power becomes “more formidable, smarter, and dominant.” These statements come on the fifth day of the military operation dubbed “Epic Rage” against Iran.
Decrease in Missile and Drone Attacks
In parallel, the Pentagon indicated that Iranian tactical ballistic missile launches have decreased by 86% compared to the first day of fighting, with an additional 23% drop in the last 24 hours. Drone attacks have also declined by 73% compared to the initial days of the conflict.
