Did Hegseth Just Declare War On Iran? Warns Of Consequences After Houthi Drone Hits U.S. Carrier [Video]

Did Hegseth Just Declare War On Iran? Warns Of Consequences After Houthi Drone Hits U.S. Carrier

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a direct and forceful warning to Iran following a serious incident involving a Houthi drone that forced the USS Harry S. Truman to take evasive action—resulting in the loss of an F-18 jet. Hegseth declared that Iran will “pay the consequence at the time and place of our choosing,” calling out Iran’s support for the Houthi terrorist group. Backed by President Trump’s retweet, this message signals a potential escalation as the U.S. vows to respond decisively to any further aggression in the Red Sea region. #PeteHegseth #Iran #Trump #Houthi #RedSea #USSHarrySTruman #F18Jet #DroneAttack #USMilitary #DefenseNews #MiddleEastCrisis #USIranTensions #HouthiTerrorism #Pentagon #BreakingNews #MilitaryEscalation #GulfConflict #USNavy #NationalSecurity #HegsethWarning #TrumpTweet #IranSanctions #USResponse #HouthiThreat #WarFooting #AircraftCarrier #RedSeaConflict #TrumpSpeech #MilitaryStrategy #GuardianJet Also Read Canada Election Result Marks Nationalist Comeback Against Donald Trump.

Trump Admin Gives 100-Day ULTIMATUM To Russia, Ukraine To Strike Peace Or Risk Ceasefire Collapse

The Trump administration has pledged to spend another 100 days to secure a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. US Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed the push, noting both sides are finally talking. Despite earlier ceasefires, tensions remain over disputed regions and NATO demands. Trump’s envoy claims Kyiv is softening its stance, but Ukraine continues to resist territorial concessions. As diplomacy inches forward, Moscow demands an end to mobilization and foreign arms support. Washington’s patience may be running thin if no breakthrough emerges from this crucial diplomatic window. #Trump #UkraineRussia #Ceasefire #JDVance #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineCrisis #PeaceDeal #Putin #Zelensky #Kyiv #Crimea #TrumpAdmin #NATO #Russia #USPolitics #BidenLegacy #ConflictResolution #Diplomacy #WarTalks #Geopolitics Also Read Pahalgam Attack: Scared Pakistan Seeks China, Russia's Intervention For Investigation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pahalgam-attack-scared-pakistan-seeks-china-russias-intervention-for-investigation-4136899.html?ref=DMDesc Preparations Underway For Vladimir Putin’s India Visit: Russian FM Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/preparations-underway-for-vladimir-putin-s-india-visit-russian-fm-lavrov-4106621.html?ref=DMDesc Diplomatic Breakthrough: Russia and Ukraine Commit to Black Sea Maritime Safety :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/diplomatic-breakthrough-russia-and-ukraine-commit-to-black-sea-maritime-safety-4105123.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~
