U.S. Bombs Iran Again; Pentagon Chief Warns "Negotiate with Bombs"

The fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire is breaking down. U.S. forces launched new strikes against Iran on Wednesday, escalating the conflict. The attacks came after President Trump warned Tehran would "pay the price" for refusing to accept a diplomatic deal. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. is ready to "negotiate with bombs" if necessary, signaling a shift from talks to force.
