Iran would be 'unwise' to challenge US further, Pentagon's Hegseth says Iran would be "unwise" to challenge US further after it carried out strikes overnight in retaliation for the downing of a US Apache helicopter, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday. "Right now, they’re defensive strikes to ensure we protect our people. Again, Iran would be unwise to challenge us further," Hegseth said during a visit to the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
