The United States has warned it could resume military strikes on Iran if ongoing negotiations fail to produce a nuclear agreement, according to comments by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Speaking at a security forum in Singapore, Hegseth said Washington remains fully capable of restarting military operations if necessary, stressing that U.S. forces have sufficient resources and global readiness to act. He added that President Donald Trump is still seeking a negotiated settlement but will insist on preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
The remarks come as U.S. and Iranian negotiators continue discussions aimed at narrowing differences over a possible deal that could extend a temporary truce and allow more time for a longer-term agreement.
Hegseth also emphasized that the United States is not shifting its focus away from the Asia-Pacific region despite its involvement in Middle East tensions, saying the military is expanding its production of munitions to support operations worldwide.
President Trump has recently described the situation as requiring a “final determination,” suggesting a decision is imminent on whether to proceed with diplomacy or maintain pressure on Tehran.
The conflict has already had wider regional consequences, contributing to instability in the Middle East and disrupting global energy markets through tensions around key shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.
Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, but officials indicate that failure to reach a deal could lead to renewed military escalation.
