Hegseth Says Iran Can 'Deal with the War Department' if Negotiations Fall Through

On Friday, President Donald Trump met with advisors in the White House Situation Room to discuss a potential Iran deal but left without making a final determination.
Trump demanded Iran agree to never pursue a Nuclear Weapon and keep the Strait of Hormuz open, while Tehran reportedly seeks the immediate release of $12 billion before advancing negotiations.
Tensions remain high as U.S. Central Command accused Iran of an "egregious ceasefire violation" on Thursday, citing a ballistic missile launch toward Kuwait and drones near the Strait of Hormuz.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated Saturday that Washington is "more than capable" of restarting the war, as Trump warned during a Wednesday Cabinet meeting he might choose military might over diplomacy.
Iranian officials rejected Trump's conditions, stating the Islamic Republic "said goodbye to the language of 'must' 47 years ago," and confirmed no final agreement has been reached regarding the conflict.
