The US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gave a detailed briefing on the Iran war at a joint press conference at the Pentagon, during which he made shocking revelations.

According to the World News Agency, the US Secretary of Defense and War has said that our goal in the Iran war is clear and our strategy is completely moving in the right direction. Iran can never build a nuclear weapon again.

He accused the US of taking action against Iran as a gift to the world. He said that further pressure will continue. Iran is a country that has killed 45,000 protesters in its own country.

Defense and War Secretary Pat Hegseth claimed that the United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz and that ships will now pass through it on our terms.

He said that the blockade will continue as long as the US president wants and that another US fleet is about to arrive for further blockade.

The US Secretary of Defense Pat Hegseth further added that US President Trump has ordered the destruction of any ship laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

He said that there is no rush to reach a deal with Iran. Iran should show wisdom. It has the opportunity to make a better deal.

The US Secretary of Defense and War warned that if Iran does not make a deal, the forces are ready to immediately resume war against it.

He claimed that the US Navy’s blockade of Iranian ports is unbreakable, adding that this blockade is not over but is getting stronger with each passing day.

He referred to the “unbreakable” blockade imposed by the US Navy on Iranian ports, saying that this blockade “is getting stronger with each passing day.”

Pat Hegseth said that the two ships that Iran seized in the Strait of Hormuz were ordinary ships that did not belong to the US or Israel.

The US Secretary of Defense and War urged that this is not an American war; the countries of Asia and Europe benefit the most from the Strait of Hormuz. They have to come forward.
