The conflict in the Middle East could expand at any moment! According to the latest breaking news, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued an extremely stern military warning today, stating that if necessary, the U.S. "has a plan to escalate" in Iran. (Previous coverage: Iran denies U.S. airstrike on fishing boat in the Gulf of Oman, calling it "untrue"; officials have not confirmed casualties) (Background: Iran confirms it is reviewing the U.S. "ceasefire plan," condemns the U.S. airstrike as illegal, and warns: ready to retaliate with full force at any time) The powder keg in the Persian Gulf is on the verge of a full-scale explosion. As ceasefire negotiations between the U.S. and Iran enter a critical stage, the highest level of the U.S. military has issued a highly threatening warning. According to the latest flash news posted on the social media platform X by renowned financial news disseminator Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone), U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made an extremely tough public statement today regarding the situation in the Middle East. 🚨 HEGSETH: 'WE HAVE A PLAN TO ESCALATE' IN IRAN, IF NECESSARY — *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) May 12, 2026 U.S. Defense Secretary: Prepared to escalate if necessary In his remarks, Hegseth made no secret of the U.S. military's intent for armed deterrence, stating bluntly: "If necessary, we have a plan to escalate (military operations) in Iran. ('WE HAVE A PLAN TO ESCALATE' IN IRAN, IF NECESSARY)" This short sentence undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on the currently extremely sensitive U.S.-Iran relationship. Currently, Iran and the U.S. are in an extremely fragile "nominal ceasefire state." Although both sides are mediating through intermediaries regarding the "14-point peace agreement," they have been unable to reach a consensus on core issues such as nuclear program restrictions, navigation rights in the strait, and war reparations.
