US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has made it clear that American forces stand ready to target critical Iranian installations at President Donald Trump’s direction. He noted that Iran missed its chance for a diplomatic resolution, and should talks falter, the US will take decisive military action to disrupt operations that threaten its strategic goals.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said U.S. forces would carry out orders from President Donald Trump and hit Iran hard on Wednesday by bombing "key facilities."
Speaking to reporters after being briefed by commanders at the U.S. Central Command headquarters in Florida, Hegseth said Iran had been given a chance to make a deal but had not taken it.
"We will hit them hard on our terms on the targets that improve the environment for us to operate in and undermine the capabilities that Iran wants to have," Hegseth said.
Hegseth spoke after Trump said that the United States would strike Iran again if no peace deal is secured, threatening further escalation following one of the most significant exchanges of hostilities in two months.
"As President Trump said, they've been tap, tap, tapping," Hegseth said, referring to Iran.
"You can see when someone's trying to tap, tap, tap on a deal, instead they're going to have tap, tap, tap bombs dropping on key facilities in Iran from the United States of America."
He accused Iran of "choosing to play games" and added: "If we need to negotiate with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs, and we're very good at it."
