U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has signaled additional airstrikes targeting Iran's key facilities. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans for further action against Iran, with the Secretary of Defense reaffirming the same strategy.

On the 10th (local time), Secretary Hegseth met with reporters at the headquarters of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) in Florida and stated, "CENTCOM will be busy tonight." He went on to argue that Iran had an opportunity to reach an agreement but chose not to formalize it and instead continued to stall for time.


Previously, President Trump also told reporters at the White House, "We hit Iran hard yesterday," adding, "Today, we will strike Iran even harder again."



President Trump criticized Iran for dragging out the process even after negotiations had concluded. He further emphasized that airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, were imminent and that the United States was indeed willing to carry them out.
