The US and Israel just launched their most intense strikes on Iran since the war began.

You also have people in Tehran saying that if this keeps up another 10 days, nothing's going to be left to the city. And the president's response to all this has been telling CBS that the war is very complete pretty much. Though the same day his Department of Defense posted that we have only just begun to fight, so you have many wondering, well, which is it? Because while Trump, he keeps contradicting himself and his own officials, the bombs are getting bigger, the death tolls climbing. And there are reports that Israel is trying to inflict maximum damage before Trump randomly decides to pull the plug. And with that, you had Defense Secretary Pete Heggsat saying this at a press briefing this morning. Today will be, yet again, our most intense day of strikes inside Iran.

The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes.

Intelligence, more refined and better than ever.

And that tracks with what people are saying on the ground.

Residents in Tehran telling reporters that the recent bombardment has been the most intense of the entire war.

One person telling the New York Times, it seems like they're striking everywhere, homeschools, mosques, hospitals, saying if they keep hitting Tehran like this for another 10 days, nothing will remain of the city. As far as why it's ramping up now, there's been no official reason given, but Iran's ability to defend itself and retaliate, it's been degrading. Though there's also been a more cynical explanation out there, right? A source familiar with

Israel's plans told Reuters that the military has been trying to inflict as much damage as possible before their window closes. Because Trump might taco again and just, you know, put out the mission accomplished banner. And that assumption, it seems kind of justified because how and when this war ends appears to have nothing to do with the defined military objective and everything to do with the whims of just one person.

Right, Headsad went from three to eight weeks to now refusing to give with the defined military objective and everything to do with the whims of just one person.

Hegson went from three to eight weeks to now refusing to give a timeline at all, instead offering an answer designed to let Trump declare victory whenever he feels like it.

From the beginning, from this podium, we haven't stated how long it will take. Our will is endless.

Ultimately, the president gets to determine the end state of those objectives, right? But what he's said

continually, and I want the American people to understand is this is not endless, it's not protracted,

we're not allowing mission creep. The president has set a very specific mission to accomplish,

and our job is to unrelentingly deliver that. Now, he gets to control the throttle. He's the one deciding. He's the one elected on behalf of the American people when we're achieving those particular objectives. And so it's not for me to posit whether it's the beginning, the middle, or the end. That's his. And he'll continue to communicate that. And Trump has been all over the place. And again, in a CBS interview yesterday, you said, I think the war is very complete pretty much, and that same day, the Defense Department posted, we have only just begun to fight.

Which also notably sounded a lot like Hegg said just a few days earlier where he told 60 minutes this is only just the beginning. You then also had Trump at an event with House Republicans in Florida calling it a short-term excursion,

while then also saying that the war would continue until Iran is totally indecisively defeated.

We've already won in many ways, but... House Republicans in Florida calling it a short-term excursion, while then also saying that the war would continue until Iran is totally and decisively defeated.

We've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.

We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this

long-running danger once and for all.

And actually at a press conference, you had a reporter finally asking the obvious question. Mr. President, you've said the war is, quote, very complete, but your defense secretary
