Hegseth says Tuesday ‘will be our most intense day of strikes’. President Trump sends nation‑ending ultimatum to Iran

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday said, “Today will be, yet again, our most intense day of strikes inside Iran.”

“Iran stands alone, and they are badly losing,” Hegseth said at a press conference at the Pentagon with Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

He said that in the past 24 hours, the United States had seen “Iran fire the lowest number of missles they’ve been capable of firing yet.”

Hegseth’s aggressive and confident comments echoed those made a day earlier by President Donald Trump to reporters at his Miami-area golf club.

“If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.

Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them”
