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.

Bernie Sanders RIPS Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ As Billionaire Payoff | 16M Thrown Off Healthcare?

Sen. Bernie Sanders strongly opposes President Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill,” calling it the most dangerous legislation in modern U.S. history. Sanders claims the bill is a billionaire-funded payoff that gives $975 billion in tax breaks to the top 1%, while slashing $1.1 trillion from healthcare programs like Medicaid and ACA—potentially leaving 16 million uninsured. With studies predicting 50,000 avoidable deaths per year, Sanders calls the bill a "death sentence" for working-class Americans and a devastating blow to rural hospitals already on the brink. #BernieSanders #TrumpBill #BillionaireBill #MedicaidCuts #AffordableCareAct #HealthcareCrisis #SenateFloor #TaxBreaks #TrumpTaxPlan #BillionaireClass #WorkingClass #RuralHospitals #HealthcareForAll #SandersSpeech #TrumpVsSanders #MedicareCuts #HealthcareJustice #TrumpAgenda #PoliticalCorruption #BigPharma #CampaignFinance #UnfairEconomy #TaxPolicy #GOPBill #CBOReport #PublicHealth #HealthcareInequality #TrumpHealthcarePlan #SandersFightsBack #TrumpDeathBill #HealthJusticeNow Also Read 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc

Hegseth Explodes Media Coverage on Iran Strikes: Accuses of Rooting Against Trump, Ignoring Heroism

In a fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews. With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. #Hegseth #IranStrikes #TrumpNews #PentagonBriefing #USAirstrikes #OperationMidnightHammer #MediaBias #PeteHegseth #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #USvsIran #TrumpAdministration #MilitaryNews #DefenseDepartment Also Read Sajindas Devidas Reveals How AI-Driven Nudges Are Quietly Redefining User Behavior :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/sajindas-devidas-reveals-how-ai-driven-nudges-are-quietly-redefining-user-behavior-4166947.html?ref=DMDesc Power Of Reusability: Creating Configurable Payroll Rules That Scale Across Modules" By Rajagopal Arputham :: https://www.oneindia.com/in-the-news/the-power-of-reusability-creating-configurable-payroll-rules-that-scale-across-modules-by-rajagopal-4164205.html?ref=DMDesc article testing new :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/article-testing-new-4058241.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.122~

Houthis BLASTS Israel’s Beersheba Key Sites With Hypersonic Missile | Civilians FLEE To Shelters

Just days after a major ceasefire between Iran and Israel, the Houthi rebels have resumed their missile attacks. Air raid sirens sounded in southern Israel after a ballistic missile, launched from Yemen, reportedly struck near Beersheba. Houthi leadership claims the strike is retaliation for Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza. With over 25 missiles and drones launched this month alone, the group warns of continued attacks until Israeli offensives stop. The renewed violence threatens to derail ceasefire negotiations, even as President Trump promises a Gaza truce “by next week.” #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiForces #MiddleEastCrisis #MissileStrike #GazaBlockade #Airstrike #BreakingNews #YemenVsIsrael #BenGurionAirport #DroneAttack #MahdiAlMashat #MilitaryTensions #HypersonicMissile #ConflictUpdate #AirTrafficDisrupted #InvestorWarning #RetaliationStrike #MiddleEastWar #GazaSupport #IDFAirports #InternationalCrisis #NoFlyZone #AirportStrike #YemenNews #IsraelNews #DefenseAlert #AirRaid #GlobalTensions Also Read 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc Iranian Citizens Contemplate Future After 12-Day War and US-Brokered Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/12-day-war-ceasefire-iran-future-concerns-011-7783479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.125~

Houthis Vow to Sink U.S Warships | Iran Blames Israel for 'Great Crime'|Khamenei Warns of Punishment

Tensions in the Middle East are spiraling. Iran has denied launching the missile intercepted by Israel near Eilat, claiming it was fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei warns Israel of severe punishment for what he called a “great crime” — referring to Israel and America’s recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. The Houthis have issued direct threats against U.S. warships in the Red Sea, declaring full support for Tehran and vowing retaliation. With Iran’s next missile wave still pending under “Operation True Promise-3,” the region is bracing for a major escalation.

Iran Prepares MISSILE STRIKES On U.S Bases As Trump Threatens To KILL Khamenei | Tehran's BIG threat

According to a New York Times report, Iran has positioned missiles and other military assets to strike U.S. bases in the region if Washington joins Israel’s war against Tehran. As the war enters its 6th day, Iran has already launched heavy missile attacks on Tel Aviv, with devastating impacts. Security experts warn that if the U.S. targets Iran’s underground Fordo nuclear site, Tehran may retaliate by mining the Strait of Hormuz and escalating Red Sea attacks through Houthi forces. Fears of a wider Middle East war are growing by the hour. #IronDome #FatehMissile #KheibarShekan #HypersonicMissiles #HaifaUnderAttack #IranMissileStrike #TruePromiseIII #IsraelIranConflict #MiddleEastWar #HypersonicMissiles #HaifaNews #TehranStrikes #IDFResponse #IranianMissiles #RafaelFactory #HaifaBlackout #OilRefineryHit #AirDefenseFailure #HajQasem #MissileWar #BreakingNews #IsraelNews ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.124~

Iran’s Allies Strike! Houthis BOMBARD Israel’s Tel Aviv with Hypersonic Missiles in Escalation Blitz

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis launched hypersonic ballistic missiles targeting Tel Aviv’s sensitive military and civilian sites. The coordinated assault followed Iran’s mass missile salvo, with Houthi forces confirming that "Palestine 2" missiles struck central Israel’s Jaffa region. Israel had earlier bombed a top Houthi commander in Yemen. The Houthis declared solidarity with Gaza and Iran, vowing more strikes unless Israel ends the siege. The assault marks the first direct Houthi attack inside Israeli territory, further escalating regional tensions and drawing in Iran's proxy networks. #HouthiAttack #IsraelUnderFire #BallisticMissiles #HypersonicStrike #IranIsraelTensions #MiddleEastWar #IDF #YemenWar #GazaSiege #Palestine2Missiles #IranBackedStrike #TehranProxy #TelAvivAttack #HouthiStatement #AxisOfResistance #MissileStrikeIsrael #ZionistAggression #HouthiRetaliation #WarEscalation #BreakingNews

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) launched major attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets, including the USS Truman and Israel’s Ramon Airport, in retaliation for the war in Gaza. This comes after Donald Trump claimed the Houthis “begged” him not to strike. The YAF's bold military move, involving drones and ballistic missiles, defies that narrative. An American F-18 crashed during the operation, intensifying the crisis. YAF has vowed further strikes if U.S. aggression resumes.

$1.5Bn Spent, 30 Warships deployed | Has the U.S. Achieved anything in its Fight against Houthis?

The U.S. military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen is proving costly and largely ineffective. With over $1.5 billion spent on munitions, 30 warships deployed—including the USS Eisenhower—and advanced assets like F-35C jets, Washington faces limited success. Houthi forces, backed by Iran, have launched over 325 attacks and disrupted $1 trillion in trade via asymmetric warfare. As the Red Sea crisis deepens, analysts warn this prolonged conflict may become America’s next Vietnam.

Hegseth Says Houthi Red Sea Defeat As 'Tailored Operation' | Critics Slam Hegseth As ‘Attempt To...’

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described America’s widely perceived failure against Yemen’s Houthis as a “tailored operation,” claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel. #Hegseth #HouthiAttacks #RedSeaConflict #PentagonNews #USNavy #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelAlly #TailoredOperation #MilitaryFailure #HegsethStatement #FreedomOfNavigation #RedSeaWar #HouthisVsUS #USMilitary #IsraelNotMentioned #GazaWarImpact #USDefeat #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #YemenConflict ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

Houthis RAIN HELLFIRE on Israel | Launch BALLISTIC Missile after ‘HOT SUMMER’ Warning

The Houthis launched a major ballistic missile strike on Israel Thursday, triggering air raid sirens nationwide. Israeli forces intercepted the warhead, neutralizing the threat. The attack followed Israeli airstrikes on Sana’a International Airport and a stern “Hot Summer” warning from Houthi leader Al-Mashat, who threatened intensified missile barrages and warned airlines flying to Ben Gurion Airport. Houthis claimed 22 operations against Israel in May alone, reaffirming support for Gaza and vowing to escalate attacks amid ongoing Red Sea tensions. #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiMissiles #YemenConflict #GazaWar #BallisticMissile #RedSeaTensions #HotSummerWarning #SanaaAirportStrike #MiddleEastConflict #Houthis #IDF #BenGurionThreat #AirRaidSirens #InterceptedMissile #IsraelDefense #GazaSupport #RegionalEscalation #AlMashat #MissileStrike #AerialThreat #GulfOfAden #ArabianSea #ShippingAttacks #MiddleEastWar #IranProxy #YemenIsraelTensions #HouthisVsIsrael #TerrorThreat #MayAttacks #AirSecurityAlert #MilitaryEscalation Also Read Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~
