#Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth & #JointChiefs of Staff Chair Gen #DanCaine have begun a briefing at the #Pentagon, to discuss the #US #war with #Iran.
Yesterday, #Trump declined to say if the “ceasefire” between the US & Iran remains in place, after both sides fired shots in the #StraitOfHormuz.
Iran has attacked US forces >10 times since the ceasefire went into effect, but that is “below the threshold” for the US to restart combat ops, Gen Dan Caine said Tues.

Meanwhile, Iran's Gulf neighbours, including #Kuwait, the #UAE & #Bahrain, were still reporting incoming attacks by Iranian missiles & drones.
Speaking alongside US #Defense secretary Pete #Hegseth, #JointChiefs of Staff Air Force General #DanCaine said the #US had met its military objectves in #Iran. [no one ever said what those objectives were but still this is BS. If it was to reopen the StraitOfHormuz — well, it was open before the first attack]

…former & current military officers said, the #military has historically adopted an unspoken rule: no #religion & no #politics.
“The point was, it didn’t matter, & it shouldn’t have mattered, who you worship, or whether you worship at all. What mattered was doing the job & being mindful that you represent all Americans, no matter what they believe,” said a person who was in the leadership team of a recent chairman of the #JointChiefs. -
“The American #military has had a remarkable ride of equanimity & fairness & justice & all manner of good adjectives with regard to #religion. It’s done this in a way that’s really remarkable—until now,” said retired #Army Col. Larry Wilkerson, who served as chief of staff to Colin Powell when he was Secy of #State & then was chair of the #JointChiefs. #Hegseth’s actions, Wilkerson said, “are totally violative of everything that transpired before it. This has come on us in a very quick fashion.”

The Chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff Gen #DanCaine said the #US #war against #Iran would not consist of a “single, overnight operation” & added that more US #casualties should be expected.
“This is not a single, overnight operation,” Caine said at the #Pentagon Monday. “The #military objectives that #CENTCOM & the Joint Force have been tasked with will take some time to achieve, & in some cases, will be difficult & gritty work.”

“His answer: We have to study it,” Sen Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said of Hegseth’s response. “Well, in my view, they’ve studied it long enough…. Congress ought to be able to see it.”
The closed-door discussion also included Secy of #State #MarcoRubio; #JohnRatcliffe, the #CIA director; & Gen #DanCaine, the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff. It centered on the 22 known boat strikes in the #Caribbean & eastern #Pacific that the #Trump admin has carried out since early Sept….

#Defense Secy #PeteHegseth & Gen #DanCaine, #JointChiefs of Staff chair, offered on Thurs the #Trump admin’s most detailed descriptions yet of the planning & execution of #US airstrikes on #Iran #nuclear facilities.
But Hegseth & Caine offered no new assessments of the state of Iran’s nuclear program or the damage to the sites. Both men referred those questions to the nation’s spy agencies.

#Iran has made it clear they are not interested in having conversations with the #UnitedStates, accusing Washington of deceiving Tehran during the last set of negotiations while planning the air attack. Moreover, that stockpile of fuel is now one of the few #nuclear bargaining chips in Iranian hands.
In a briefing for reporters on Sunday, #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth & the new chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, avoided #Trump’s maximalist claims of success.

The #Trump admin said that its attack on 3 #Iran #nuclear facilities was not about toppling the country’s government.
“This mission was not and has not been about regime change,” #Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth said at a Sunday news briefing.
Air Force Gen. #DanCaine, the chairman of the #JointChiefs of Staff, stressed that the goal of “Operation Midnight Hammer” had destroyed the nuclear sites in #Fordow, #Natanz & #Isfahan.
