US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday said his mission is to ensure readiness in case no agreement is reached with Iran.
In an interview with Fox Nation, Hegseth said he hopes Iran stops uranium enrichment and dismantles its nuclear capabilities, but added that the United States is prepared for any scenario.
Iran is working to rebuild its defenses and missile capabilities, Hegseth said, adding that Washington recognizes the threat Iran poses to Israel and is closely monitoring the situation.
