Pentagon chief Hegseth defended President Trump's decisions before Congress, stating that the United States is winning the war. According to the United Nations, the Iranian regime has sentenced 21 people to death and arrested at least 4,000 others in the last two months since the conflict began. Reports from Tehran suggest decisions are being made by the leadership of the Revolutionary Guard. This figure represents nearly seven times the original 2008 estimate.
