Hegseth just said Trump’s military strike on Iran was the “most complex” and most secretive military operation in history. Really? More complex and secretive than the Normandy landing?

It was a bombing raid. Allied air forces in Europe flew over 1,440,000 bomber sorties in WW2. This had been planned for years, probably during the Obama administration. The was a very routine military action.
