Hagest Operation Midnight Hammer was a historic mission
Pete Hagest, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, assessed the U.S. military situation over the past month in a cabinet meeting of the Trump administration on Tuesday, July 7, and described the Midnight Hammer operation, which was carried out against nuclear facilities in Iran, as a historic mission that reminded the world of the United States’ deterrent power.
Referring to the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, he said President Trump, with this decision and this operation, restored America’s image, which had been severely damaged by Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
