US Defense Secretary Pat Hegseth said in a press briefing that Iran has a golden opportunity to choose a prosperous future, according to our negotiators.

According to the American broadcaster, US Defense Secretary Pat Hegseth warned that US forces are ready to resume combat operations if Iran makes the wrong decision on the ceasefire agreement.

He added that the US knows what military assets Iran is transferring. It is suppressing the launchers that are bombing. We are constantly monitoring this.

The US Secretary of Defense added that Iran likes to say that it controls the Strait of Hormuz, but it does not have a navy that can do so, whereas the US does have a navy.

He said that the US blockade of the Iranian Navy will continue as long as we deem necessary, and that Iran does not have the effective naval power to break it.

Pete Hegseth said that US forces are ready to resume military operations at any time. We have control over maritime traffic in and out of the Strait of Hormuz.
