U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a fresh warning to Iran amid ongoing military tensions between the two countries. In a message posted on social media, Hegseth stated that Iran had “made the wrong decision” and would “pay the price” for its actions. His remarks came as the United States reportedly carried out its third major military strike against Iran this week, reflecting the continuing escalation in the conflict. According to U.S. officials, the action follows allegations that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked the Cyprus-flagged commercial vessel MV GFS Galaxy. Washington has cited the alleged attack as a key reason for its military response, accusing Iran of threatening international maritime security. The latest exchange of warnings and military action has further heightened concerns about stability in the Middle East and the safety of commercial shipping routes. While both sides continue to exchange accusations, the situation remains highly volatile, with global attention focused on whether diplomatic efforts can prevent a broader regional confrontation.
