US Builds Forces After Iran Strikes
Iran struck targets in the Gulf region. War Secretary Hegseth said Iran's strikes backfired.
He said the strikes pushed Gulf neighbors closer to the United States. Hegseth also said the United States destroyed much of Iran's Navy.
US Central Command is preparing a major firepower increase. This is linked to Iran's strikes and regional tensions.
Klear Note — Iran and the US have had tensions for decades. The Persian Gulf region has major oil supplies. Many countries there work with the US military.
