US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a strong warning to Iran, urging the country to “choose wisely” as tensions escalate. He stated that the United States is closely monitoring Iran’s military movements and is fully aware of its strategic activities.
Hegseth emphasized that while Iran may temporarily protect its assets, it would struggle to rebuild if they were destroyed. He also described a potential US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as a restrained response.
Highlighting US naval dominance, he noted that the US is deploying a portion of its powerful navy, while Iran has no comparable presence in the area. He concluded by encouraging Iran to pursue a peaceful and prosperous path for its people.
