- 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 New: US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says US forces destroyed more than 80% of Iran's nuclear industrial base during the war and warned that Washington remains ready to strike again if it detects renewed activity it considers threatening.
"More than 80% of their nuclear industrial base is gone."
"If we had seen the type of nefarious activity that required action, we would have taken it."
Hagset also said that Washington is not looking for military actions that would cause heavy US casualties, while asserting that US forces remain capable of operating against Iran if necessary.
