Here's what was said during today's Pentagon briefing on the Iran war

By Catherine Nicholls

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine just held a press briefing at the Pentagon for the first time in 12 days.

Here’s what we learned about some of the main developments in the war on Iran

• Hegseth said he visited US Central Command over the weekend and met with troops, though he declined to share which bases he traveled to.
• “Regime change has occurred” in Iran, Hegseth said, adding that the country’s new regime “should be wiser than the last.”
• The US is aware that rival countries are providing intelligence on US assets to Iran, the defense secretary told reporters.
• The “primary” focus from the United States is pursuing a deal that will end its war with Iran, he said.
• The US military aims “to be unpredictable” when it comes to having American boots on the ground in Iran, Hegseth also told reporters.
• Asked to respond to criticism from Americans who support President Donald Trump but don’t want to see US ground forces on the ground, Hegseth said he doesn’t understand why the president’s political base “wouldn’t have faith in his ability to execute.”
