Summary

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters that Washington is 'prepared' to take further military action against Iran if President Donald Trump commands it. He said the goal is to make sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon and that the US is prepared to contribute in any way necessary. Hegseth said the US had already done historic devastation to Iran's military capabilities, but that if Iran is not willing to give that up and the president asks to go even further, the US is prepared to do so.
