- U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demands Iran turn over 970 pounds of enriched uranium from Isfahan.
- Hegseth warns President Trump could order a commando raid if Iran does not comply.
- Hegseth declared a 'decisive military victory' in Iran, with the U.S. 'hanging around' to enforce a ceasefire, per Defense One.
