US Retaliates Against Iran: Decisive Action or Dangerous Escalation?

Defense Secretary Hegseth justifies recent US strikes against Iran, claiming the US is 'finishing' a war Iran started. Experts weigh in on the potential consequences and risks of this military action.
Hegseth: The US didn't start this war with Iran, but we are finishing it. Blaming Iran for previous attacks on Americans in the region, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth defended recent US strikes, asserting that the country is taking decisive action to protect its citizens and interests.
Hegseth's comments come amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, which have escalated in recent months following a series of attacks on American targets in the Middle East. Iran has been accused of orchestrating these attacks, though the country has denied involvement.
