White House: US nears 'complete' control of Iran airspace

"We expect to have complete and total dominance over Iranian airspace in the coming hours," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier in the day that the United States and Israel "will have complete control of Iranian skies, uncontested airspace," without giving a specific timeline.

That means "we will fly all day, all night, day and night, finding, fixing and finishing the missiles and defense industrial base of the Iranian military," Hegseth said.
