Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the U.S. would consider military action against Iran if nuclear weapons negotiations fail. Hegseth, speaking on Fox News, emphasized that the U.S. is prepared to use its military to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, if diplomatic efforts are unsuccessful. This follows President Trump's insistence on Iran not developing such weapons. The comments come amid ongoing tensions and recent U.S. airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, highlighting the potential for broader regional conflict.
