Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth proclaimed that “deterrence is back” and warned that overseas adversaries ought to hearken to President Trump within the wake of the strikes towards Iran’s three nuclear services Saturday.
“The operation President Trump planned was bold and it was brilliant, showing the world that American deterrence is back,” Hegseth advised reporters throughout a press briefing Sunday. “When this president speaks, the world should listen — and the US military, we can back it up.”
Hegseth harked again to the 60-day deadline Trump gave Iran earlier this 12 months and mentioned that the regime is now ruing its failure to adjust to that ultimatum.
“Iran found out when POTUS says 60 days that he seeks peace and negotiation, he means 60 days of peace and negotiation; otherwise, that nuclear program, that nuclear capability, will not exist; he meant it,” the Protection secretary added.
