Harvard, a former deputy commander of US Central Command, told Fox News that the Iranian regime is in its final stages and the Islamic Republic is at the end of its military capabilities. He stated that the US will soon target missile and weapons production facilities in Iran, and that Iran's military stock will deplete faster than US capabilities.
Harvard, a former deputy commander of US Central Command, said in a Fox News interview that the Iranian regime is in its final stages, asserting that the Islamic Republic is nearing the end of its military capabilities. He predicted that the US will soon shift its targeting to missile and weapons production facilities inside Iran, and that Iran's military stockpile would be exhausted faster than Washington's.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent months, the US has been conducting direct strikes against Iranian military infrastructure since June 2026, following Iran's downing of a US Army Apache helicopter. The US has also imposed a naval blockade and deployed additional fighter jets and refueling aircraft to the region. The remarks by the former CENTCOM deputy add to the ongoing debate in Washington over the next phase of operations against Iran, though his claims about the pace of depletion of Iranian capabilities remain unverified by independent sources.
The interview comes as US forces continue to operate in the region under a dual-track strategy of kinetic pressure and diplomatic negotiations with Tehran.
