US Iran War LIVE: ‘Kinetic Strikes WILL BE USED…’ Hegseth Not ruling Out Strikes Against Iran | US
U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth says Washington is pairing “economic fury” with continued military pressure to force Iran into negotiations over its nuclear programme. He claims the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports is “ironclad,” that the U.S. can protect commercial shipping through Hormuz, and that Iran’s naval, radar, missile and surveillance capabilities have been heavily reduced. Hegseth rejected the idea that kinetic operations are paused, saying the U.S. has not ruled out strikes “anywhere in the Strait of Hormuz or around Iran” if Tehran threatens U.S. forces or shipping. Iran disputes U.S. claims of control over the waterway, and commercial transit remains vulnerable amid continuing maritime incidents.
