Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has hinted at a possible war with Iran if the country attempts to obtain nuclear weapons. Negotiations between the US and Iran are ongoing, and Donald Trump has warned of 'great danger' if Iran proceeds with its alleged ambitions. Hegseth emphasized that the president is serious about preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb and is willing to involve the Department of Defense if necessary. The US has been engaging in talks with Iran, but there are still areas of uncertainty. Iran has faced setbacks and domestic pressure, including recent Israeli strikes on Iranian-backed forces and new rounds of US sanctions.
