US Defence ” ⚠️Secretary warns Iran: “Choose wisely

Tensions in the ongoing 2026 Iran war are rising again as U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth issues a stark message to Tehran.

The U.S. says it’s fully prepared to restart major military operations if Iran refuses a peace deal. Officials confirmed forces are on high alert, with a naval blockade already tightening pressure on Iranian trade and oil exports.

Hegseth made it clear: Iran has a choice — move toward diplomacy or face serious consequences, including potential strikes on key infrastructure.

While Washington says it prefers a peaceful resolution, the warning signals just how fragile the situation remains as negotiations struggle to gain traction.

Bottom line: The next move is Iran’s — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
