‘You’re not gonna mess with the United States’
By Joe Kovacs
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is warning Iran of U.S. military action if fresh talks fail to ensure the Islamic Republic does not have a nuclear weapon.
“President Trump is dead serious on this issue,” Hegseth said on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.
While calling the negotiations headed by Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, a “good step,” Hegseth indicated the president is” also dead serious that if we can’t figure this out at the negotiating table, then there are other options to include my department to ensure that Iran never has a nuclear bomb. We hope we never get there. We really do.”
