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.
