U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warned on June 10 that the U.S. military would launch a powerful strike against Iran if it does not agree to end its conflict with the United States, CNN reported. Speaking to troops at U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida, Hegseth stated that the president is fully focused on the outcome he wants for the American people and is already achieving significant results. He added that, as President Donald Trump said the same day, the U.S. will "hit them hard" if they do not agree to a deal. President Trump also mentioned on the same day that he would carry out additional attacks on Iran.
