Washington: (Right Now News) US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has warned Iran of escalating conflict if no agreement is reached. He stated that the coming days will be decisive for potential warfare.

The statement follows Iran’s targeting of an oil tanker in Dubai, marking a new series of attacks in the Gulf. Pete Hegseth emphasized that the US is keen on reaching an agreement, but if Iran does not comply with the terms, the conflict will persist.

After meeting with US troops in the Middle East, the Defense Secretary mentioned that the US has more options, while Iran has fewer. He noted that conditions have been set for one month, and the upcoming days will be crucial.

Hegseth highlighted that US attacks are causing widespread destruction in Iran. US General Dan Kane reported that the US is reducing Iran’s capabilities and has seized over 150 ships.

It is important to note that Iran is fully resisting despite ongoing US and Israeli attacks. The US has offered peace proposals, but Iran has dismissed them as unrealistic and aggressive.
