Hegset: US won't let Iran get nuclear bomb

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in an interview that the United States would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear bomb and is ready to carry out any order from President Trump on this matter. He emphasized that the directive from Trump's official to prevent Iran from gaining direct access to nuclear weapons is a serious statement, to which the U.S. military is fully prepared. Hegseth added that Iran should not continue developing nuclear weapons, as this contradicts U.S. policy and international agreements.

Context
