Hegseth Says U.S. Will Attack Iran Wednesday Night

Admiral Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, was going to be here with me. We just got done with detailed briefings. But of course, he is busy because CENTCOM, Central Command, will be busy tonight because President Trump said, we will be hitting Iran hard, and we will be because Iran has a chance to make a good deal, a great deal, to codify what they said they’ve been willing to do and they haven’t been willing to do it. So as President Trump said, they’ve been, tap, tap tapping. You can see when someone’s trying to tap tap, tap on a deal. Instead, they’re going to have tap, tap tap bombs dropping on key facilities in Iran from the United States of America. And that’s not because we want to restart anything we don’t have to restart. It’s because we are — the War Department is prepared to set the terms to ensure that we get the kind of deal President Trump expects.
