According to reports, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated on Saturday that Iran must either abandon its nuclear program or face potential military action, while also accusing Tehran of maintaining a large missile arsenal and supporting regional proxies.

Hegseth framed these remarks within the context of the administration's broader strategy to reassert American influence, including operations in Venezuela and efforts to limit the presence of rival powers in the Western Hemisphere.
