New York Times: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday renewed his threat to attack Iran’s electrical infrastructure if the cease-fire between Washington and Tehran failed.”
Said Hegseth: “Our forces are maximally postured to restart combat operations should this new Iranian regime choose poorly and not agree to a deal. We are locked and loaded on your critical dual-use infrastructure, on your remaining power generation and on your energy industry.”
