War Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters on Monday that Iran would face its heaviest round of US strikes ahead of Trump's deadline for Iran to make a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face "complete demolition." President Trump held a press conference on Monday with Secretary Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, and CIA Director John Rattcliffe, following the successful search and rescue operation for the crew of an F-15 Strike Eagle fighter jet that was shot down last week over Iran.
