United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has issued a warning to Iran amid escalating tensions over its nuclear program and regional security.
In a video clip shared by the US Department of War’s rapid response account on X, Hegseth could be heard saying, “But if Iran chooses poorly, then they will have a blockade and bombs dropping on infrastructure, power and energy.”
He added that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is launching “Operation Economic Fury” to maximise sanctions pressure.
Hegseth urged, “Iran, choose wisely.”
The threat builds on a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz, joint US-Israel strikes, and stalled talks.
