Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the "upcoming days will be decisive" on March 31, one month after the U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran — a campaign that has killed thousands, sent oil prices above $120 per barrel, and drawn the largest U.S. military buildup in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion.
