President Donald Trump is “dead serious” about preventing a nuclear-armed Iran and is willing to use military force to prevent it, if necessary, according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth appeared on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” on Sunday to discuss nuclear talks between the United States and Iran that kicked off on Saturday. Hegseth said that the administration is committed to finding a peaceful solution to Iran’s nuclear program, the president would not rule out using military force.
“President Trump is dead serious on this issue. He’s dead serious that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. He’s said that for 20 years. He’s been consistent. That is clear,” said Hegseth. “He’s dead serious that he wants it done at the negotiating table. He wants it done peacefully, and that’s why he’s going straight to these talks.”
