“We will continue the blockade against Iran for as long as necessary,” U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said at a press conference, APA reports.

The minister noted that the U.S. Army can very quickly and powerfully transition from blockade to combat mode.

“The Department of War will ensure that Iran never possesses nuclear weapons. We would prefer to do this willingly, but we can also do it by force,” Hegseth added.
