Hegseth says Tuesday ‘will be our most intense day of strikes’ on Iran

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday will see the most intense strikes on Iran amid a campaign reducing Iranian missile launches by 90%, aiming to end the conflict on U.S. terms.

  • On March 10, 2026, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that Tuesday would be the most intense day of strikes on Iran, saying it's tied to the U.S.-Israeli military campaign.
  • Amid rising regional tensions, Iran has targeted energy infrastructure and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with a Revolutionary Guard spokesman threatening to stop Gulf oil exports and drones igniting a fire at Abu Dhabi's Ruwais refinery.
  • Pentagon officials described objectives to degrade missile, drone and naval threats as U.S. forces struck more than 5,000 targets, reducing ballistic missile attacks 90% and drone attacks 83%.
  • Seven U.S. service members have died, and Brent crude surged toward nearly $120, prompting G7 discussions on emergency reserves.
  • Hegseth said the campaign will continue on President Donald Trump's timeline, warning Russia against involvement after a Trump-Putin call while the Kremlin's mediation offer remains on the table.
