US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a stark warning that the United States could strike Iranian military infrastructure and key facilities if attacks continue against U.S. interests. His comments came amid escalating tensions across the Middle East, with the Trump administration accusing Tehran of undermining diplomatic efforts and threatening regional stability. President Donald Trump also intensified his rhetoric, saying Iran has repeatedly taken advantage of negotiations. The remarks come as a fragile ceasefire faces mounting pressure following recent military exchanges, raising concerns about a broader regional conflict involving Iran, U.S. forces, and key allies.
