‘We negotiate with bombs’: Pete Hegseth warns Iran

Pete Hegseth issued a stark warning to Tehran asserting that America’s “hand’s on that throttle” until Iran dismantles its nuclear facilities entirely. Speaking in the Oval Office on Tuesday (24 March), Hegseth boasted about President Trump’s military strategy. “We have a President of the United States that ,when he sends his war fighters out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one.” “We negotiate with bombs. You have a choice.” This comment sharply contradicts Trump’s “ceasefire” claims with Iran. Iran, meanwhile, clearly stated, “Until it is our will, nothing will go back to the way it was.”
