Hegseth: US open to military action against Iran
U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis stated that the Donald Trump administration does not rule out the use of military force against Iran, despite Washington imposing severe economic sanctions on Tehran. He confirmed that military strikes could occur in the Strait of Hormuz or within Iranian territory, given the worsening economic pressure on the Iranian regime, which cannot bear much more. These remarks come after the U.S. Treasury announced plans to "squeeze" Iran's economy by imposing sanctions on five key sectors, including digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping, with the aim of isolating Iran from the global economy. Washington continues its efforts to increase pressure on Tehran, with threats of force, at a time when Iran faces disruptions in navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and a decline in its economic situation.
