The United States is prepared to resume military action against Iran if ongoing diplomatic efforts do not result in an agreement, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said.
Speaking during a security forum in Singapore, Hegseth emphasized that Washington prefers a diplomatic solution but remains ready to use military force if negotiations with Tehran reach a dead end. He stated that the US possesses the capability to respond quickly should the situation require it.
The comments come as talks continue over Iran's nuclear activities and broader regional security concerns. While both sides remain engaged in discussions, key differences reportedly persist on issues including sanctions, nuclear restrictions, and regional stability.
The statement signals that the United States is maintaining pressure on Iran while pursuing negotiations, reflecting the high stakes involved in efforts to prevent further tensions in the Middle East.
