US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated on Monday that the Trump administration is not ruling out military action against Iran, specifically kinetic strikes in the Strait of Hormuz or surrounding areas. This warning comes as the US implements an "economic D-Day" targeting Iran's economy. Hegseth believes Iran cannot withstand the current economic pressure. Additionally, US State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott reiterated President Trump's commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, stating, "He will see that objective be completed one way or another."
