US forces ready to restart combat if Iran doesn't agree a deal: Hegseth

U.S. forces in the Middle East are postured to restart combat operations if Iran doesn't agree to ⁠a peace deal, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a Pentagon briefing on Thursday.

"You Iran, can choose a prosperous future, a golden bridge, and we ⁠hope that you do for the people of Iran," he said.

"But if ⁠Iran chooses poorly, then they will have a blockade ⁠and bombs dropping on infrastructure, power and ⁠energy."
