US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, “We didn’t start the war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.” He said President Donald Trump has drawn the line after “47 years of Iranian belligerence.” Hegseth warned that anyone who kills or threatens Americans will be hunted down “without apology and without hesitation.” He said it is common sense that Iran must not have nuclear weapons. He added that Trump has the “guts” to enforce this. Hegseth also criticised former President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal. He called it a “terrible deal” and said it almost allowed Iran to build a bomb. (PC: BBC)
