The Pentagon chief said the United States has Iran's stockpile under observation and suggested that another bombing attack like one conducted against the suspected sites in June could be carried out. We know what they have, and they will give it up, and we'll get it, and we'll take it. If we have to, we can do it in any, any means necessary," Hegseth said.
