New Delhi, March 13 -- US War Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday (March 13) that Iran's missile capabilities have been severely degraded following sustained US and Israeli military strikes, claiming the country's missile volume has dropped dramatically and its weapons production capacity has been largely destroyed.
