Pete Hegseth and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) offered different assessments of the health of the United States's current munitions stockpiles on Sunday.

Trump said he received news of the strikes shortly before a peace agreement with Iran was to be signed Sunday morning.

"Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning," spokesman David Popp said in a statement. "He is receiving excellent care."

The comments come as President Donald Trump says the U.S. is in the final stretch of finalizing an agreement with Tehran after months of war and negotiations.

Hegseth did not elaborate on what "compel options" are, nor whether they would include added military or economic pressure on Iran.

"Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless," Trump said.

Israel launched the strikes on the day President Donald Trump said a deal between the United States and Iran would be finalized.
