Pentagon claims 80% of Iran's nuclear industry destroyed; no large-scale US op planned

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that US strikes have destroyed over 80% of Iran's nuclear industry, but ruled out a large-scale operation risking significant US casualties. The claim is unverified and likely part of ongoing psychological operations; the actual extent of damage and Iran's remaining capabilities remain uncertain. This marks a significant escalation in US-Iran confrontation, with implications for regional security and nuclear proliferation.
