"Central Command will be busy tonight because President Trump said we will be hitting Iran hard, and we will be," he told reporters at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. The secretary, echoing President Trump earlier in the day, accused Iranian negotiators of "tapping" the U.S. along in negotiations and said the goal of the bombing campaign was to get them to agree to a deal. "If we need to negotiate with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs," he said. "And we're very good at it. Nobody better in the world." #iranwar #petehegseth #centcom #cspan 1bCDHVTUQ4I 8b4SSxG26q2 FlvxJ4shLQB JErYeQtj4XC
