Secretary Hegseth says anything the regime used in the attacks on the Strait of Hormuz is being targeted.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the next round of strikes against Iran on Wednesday night after President Donald Trump warned the regime during a press conference from the NATO Summit in Turkey.
“At the direction of the Commander in Chief, U.S. Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM stated. “The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway.”
President Trump said of the regime on Wednesday, “I think more than anything else, is I got to know them, and I’m not sure I want to make a deal with them. We can play games, but I’m not sure I want to make a deal. Let’s just finish the job.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the U.S. military would hit even more and even deeper, “Radar sites, surveillance sites, anything used to harass shipping in the Strait of Hormuz—anything they thought they had rebuilt or any capability they were using.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump to seek God’s guidance in his position as commander-in-chief.
- For Secretary Hegseth as he heads the Defense Department.
- For Admiral Cooper as he manages the U.S. Central Command and operations in the Middle East.
- For the Lord’s protection over the U.S. military personnel engaged in strikes against Iran.
