US improved intelligence and targeting capabilities on Iran, Hegseth says

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that the US military used the ceasefire period to significantly improve its intelligence gathering and target selection capabilities related to Iran.

“Let's just say this command (CENTCOM) has used the ceasefire wisely and with great efficiency to ensure that we're refining our intelligence and target sets,” Hegseth said in front of CENTCOM headquarter in Tampa, Florida.

"The US military's ability to identify targets, gather intelligence and penetrate networks would be vastly improved compared with the start of Operation Epic Fury," he added.
