US Urges Iran: A Quest for Peaceful Negotiation

In a significant appeal, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called upon Iran to come forward and negotiate a deal to curb its nuclear ambitions. Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon, Hegseth underscored the US's commitment to ensuring that Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon.

Hegseth emphasized the preference for a diplomatic resolution, stating, "We'd prefer to do it the nice way through a deal led by our great vice president and negotiating team." He highlighted the critical option the US faces, choosing between peaceful negotiations or more severe measures.

Despite Iran's assertions of maintaining a peaceful nuclear program, Hegseth urged Iran's leaders to prioritize a deal for the welfare of their people and to contribute positively to global stability.
