Trump says Iran will pay many times over for killing US troops

Trump passed the directive to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Daniel Caine and every military leader.

Truth Social post: Iran will "pay for that killing many times over," Trump wrote.
Post titles Hegseth "Secretary of War," the name Trump has pushed for the Pentagon.
Order extends past top brass to "every Leader in the Military," per the text.

Why it matters: A war doctrine announced in a single post becomes policy the moment the chain of command obeys it.
