News India Live, Digital Desk: Amid tensions in the Middle East, America’s new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has given a tough ultimatum to Iran. Hegseth has bluntly said that if Iran does not desist from its actions and targets American interests or allies, then the US military is fully prepared to take ‘destructive’ action. The statement of this firebrand leader of the Trump administration has alerted defense experts around the world.
‘Iran’s terror will not continue any longer’ – Hegseth’s sharp attack
Pete Hegseth attacks Iran’s ‘proxy war’ strategy during an interview. He said that Iran has been spreading instability in the region through Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis for a long time. Hegseth warned, “Iran must understand that now the leadership in Washington has changed. We will not only use strong words, but if necessary, our military power will be visible on the ground. We are ready to respond to any aggression.”
Trump’s ‘power for peace’ strategy
This statement of Hegseth is being considered a part of President Donald Trump’s policy of ‘Peace through Strength’. The Trump administration believes that the decline in American military influence in the last few years has boosted the morale of countries like Iran. Hegseth made it clear that he would again make the American army so powerful and deadly that no enemy would dare to raise an eye.
Gave balm of confidence to Israel and allies
Along with threatening Iran, Hegseth assured Israel and the Gulf countries of their security. He said that America stands shoulder to shoulder with its allies. The Defense Secretary indicated that the coming days could see an increase in US military deployment and war exercises in the Middle East to put psychological pressure on Iran.
Sound of world war? Increased concern of experts
Experts believe that Hegseth’s statement is not just a warning. The Trump administration can go to any extent to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program and its missile power. If Iran retaliates or blocks oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, the dispute could escalate into a major war.
