Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, conduct a press conference at the Pentagon, April 8, 2026. Hegseth suggested that the military was prepared to do significant damage when asked if the Pentagon was set to fulfill President Trump's ominous threat that a "whole civilization will die." "We had a target set locked and loaded of infrastructure, bridges, pipelines, military regime use, all these for dual use to fund military on their terror targets," Hegseth said. "They knew exactly the scope of what we were capable of."
