Hegseth to Iran - “We Negotiate With Bombs”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a blunt warning to Iran, declaring that the United States “negotiates with bombs” while discussing the ongoing conflict. Hegseth said the U.S. military is prepared to maintain pressure until Iran abandons its nuclear ambitions, emphasizing that American forces remain ready to strike if necessary to protect U.S. interests and allies. The remarks reflect the administration’s broader strategy of deterrence through overwhelming military strength.
