US Central Command “will be busy tonight”, Hegseth has claimed barely a day after Wednesday strikes over helicopter incident
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that US Central Command “will be busy tonight,” signaling that Washington is preparing further strikes against Iran barely a day after launching attacks over the reported downing of an American helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
“Because President Trump said we will be hitting Iran hard – and we will be,” Hegseth told reporters.
The Pentagon chief said the strikes would target “key facilities” in Iran, without specifying which sites would be hit. He claimed the attacks would be “strong” and “clear,” while adding that Tehran “has an opportunity to make a deal” with Washington.
