WASHINGTON, April 6 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that U.S. forces will launch largest strikes on Iran since the United States and Israel began massive attacks on Iran on Feb. 28.
"Per the president's direction, today will be the largest volume of strikes since Day One of this operation. Tomorrow, even more than today. And then Iran has a choice," Hegseth said at a press conference at the White House.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Iran could be "taken out" in one night and that night "might" be Tuesday evening, the deadline Trump set for Iran to make a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. ■
