Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that the United States is preparing to launch what President Donald Trump has described as the largest bombing campaign yet against Iran, as American forces intensify their military operation targeting the Iranian regime’s missile infrastructure.
Speaking about the ongoing conflict, Bessent said the Iranian regime is currently losing on the battlefield and is being overwhelmed by the coordinated military pressure from U.S. forces and their allies.
According to Bessent, tonight’s operation is expected to deliver the most significant blow so far to Iran’s military capabilities.
“A losing military battle where they’re being overwhelmed,” Bessent said.
“As Secretary Hegseth, General Caine, and the President have all said, tonight will be our biggest bombing campaign, and we’ll do the most damage to the Iranian missile launchers and the factories that build the missiles.”
Bessent emphasized that the United States has already inflicted severe damage on Iran’s military infrastructure and that the campaign is steadily degrading the regime’s ability to threaten American forces and regional allies.
“We are substantially degrading them,” Bessent said. “Our campaign has been overwhelming.”
The remarks come as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on Tehran following a series of escalating confrontations in the Middle East. U.S. officials say Iranian missile sites, weapons factories, and other strategic military assets are being systematically targeted in order to cripple the regime’s offensive capabilities.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed strikes on two of Iran’s most significant“motherships” or drone carriers.
