U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday the next few days in the war against Iranwould be decisive and warned Tehran that the conflict would intensify if it did not make a deal, Reuters reported.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards hit back with a new threat against U.S. companies in the region starting Wednesday. It listed 18 businesses including Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab, Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab, ‌Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab, IBM (IBM.N), opens new tab, Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab and Boeing (BA.N).
Hegseth, who reported he visited U.S. troops in the Middle East on Saturday, said President Donald Trump was willing to make a deal with Iran to end the war. Talks were ongoing and gaining strength, but the U.S. was prepared to continue the war if Iran did not comply, he said.
