US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he is not concerned about making a decision regarding the next strike against Iran, which he described as being at its weakest point.

In remarks to the press, Hegseth added that the US understands how to make the world safer by enforcing these rules. He noted that the issue is not only about what was carried out in Operation Epic Fury, but also about the achievements of the forces in their missions.

He continued, saying he agrees with President Donald Trump that this issue may not be very popular, but someone must confront the Iranian regime and work to eliminate its nuclear weapons. He pointed out that previous presidents failed to do so, and stressed the need to achieve this goal.
