Iran will not outlast the United States in a war of resource attrition, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a press conference.

Earlier, CNN reported that Israel and the United States, at the current intensity of combat operations against Iran, could face depletion of interceptor munitions as early as next week.

"Iran will not be able to outlast us," he said in response to a question on the matter.

According to Hegseth, the US intends to act forcefully to "set the tone and tempo of this battle."
