🔶 Warning of the American Secretary of War to Tehran: We are not looking for a military occupation of Iran

US Secretary of War Pete Heggest stressed that Washington is not looking for nation building or a military conquest of Iran.

Guest warned that any possible military action ordered by Donald Trump would be swift and decisive.

He stated that Washington's main goal is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and since the final decision is the US president's, he addressed Tehran's officials and said that they can choose between the easy way and the hard way.

Guest previously said that Donald Trump would have all the military options at his disposal. He emphasized that Washington controls the Strait of Hormuz and acknowledged that Iran is trying to restore its damaged capabilities.

These statements were made while the Secretary of War of the United States did not completely reject the possibility of placing American forces inside Iran.
