US EditionNews24 | US Military Ready to Carry Out Any Trump Decisions on Iran, Hegseth Says
- On June 18, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee in Washington, DC, affirming US military readiness to execute any decision President Donald Trump makes on Iran.
- This testimony came after Israeli airstrikes commenced on June 13, targeting and demolishing the central facility of Iran’s domestic security agency, prompting many residents to flee Tehran amid escalating attacks.
- Hegseth emphasized the Defense Department’s role to remain prepared with options and confirmed deterrence has been re-established, while Trump declined to specify if US strikes were planned and noted Iran’s late proposal for talks.
- President Trump stated that he has plans in mind but has yet to reach a final decision, preferring to make choices at the last possible moment due to changing circumstances. He also noted that the situation has changed significantly compared to a week earlier.
- The situation suggests ongoing US consideration of options amid heightened conflict, with Iran rejecting demands for surrender and warning any US attack could trigger all-out war.
