WASHINGTON, United States, March 13, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United States and 
Israel have struck more than 15,000 targets since the start of the Iran war 
late last month, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday.

"Between our air force and that of the Israelis, over 15,000 enemy targets 
have been struck. That's well over 1,000 a day," Hegseth told a news 
conference, adding that Friday would mark the highest volume of strikes yet 
in the campaign.
