14:11Now PlayingUS News: Tensions flared at the Pentagon as reporters pressed U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following what many are calling a dramatic “U-turn” by Donald Trump on the Iran war deadline. During the first Pentagon briefing after the ceasefire, Hegseth faced tough questions over the administration’s shifting stance and controversial military threats.
Hegseth revealed that the U.S. was prepared to escalate significantly if Iran had refused Washington’s terms. “Had Iran refused our terms, the next targets would have been their power plants, their bridges, and oil and energy infrastructure—targets they could not defend and could not realistically rebuild,” he said.
The remarks sparked backlash, with critics—including voices within the United States—warning that such actions could potentially amount to war crimes, raising serious concerns about the scale and legality of the proposed strikes.
The exchange comes after the U.S. and Iran agreed to a conditional two-week ceasefire, reached just hours before Trump’s self-imposed deadline tied to a deal and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite earlier warnings from Trump that a “whole civilisation will die” if no agreement was reached, both sides are now claiming victory.
Trump has since declared a “total and complete victory,” while emphasizing that the agreement hinges on the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—a critical global oil route. As reporters continue to challenge the administration’s narrative, questions remain over the true outcome of the conflict, the credibility of U.S. claims, and the broader implications for the Middle East.
Stay tuned for the latest updates on the Iran war, Pentagon briefings, and global geopolitical developments.
