US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Washington is prepared to restart military strikes on Iran if ongoing negotiations fail to produce a deal preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore, Hegseth stated that the US military has sufficient resources and munitions to resume operations if necessary. The warning comes as the administration of Donald Trump continues diplomatic efforts to secure a broader agreement involving Iran’s nuclear programme and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Talks remain ongoing amid high regional tensions and fears of renewed conflict.
