At a March 2 Pentagon news conference alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, described the coordinated campaign as “major combat operations” that remain ongoing, without offering a timeline. President Trump and senior officials have said the strikes are aimed at halting what they characterize as a growing threat from Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.

Caine said the operation, led by U.S. Central Command, required tight coordination across air, maritime, cyber and space domains. “The United States, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard and our reserve components integrated across our combat commands and began coordinated operations with the Israeli armed forces of an unprecedented scale,” he said.
