Sec. of War Pete Hegseth: “Iran has terrorized the United States and our interests for 47 years…

Their core industries are state-sponsored terrorism, proxy militias, underground networks, ballistic missiles, and a violent, messianic Islamist ideology chasing an apocalyptic endgame.

A regime like that—refusing to abandon its nuclear ambitions—is not just a regional problem. It is a direct threat to America, to freedom, to civilization.”
