🇮🇷 Hegseth: Iran Faces Deal or 'Devastation'

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Saturday that Iran must choose between abandoning its nuclear ambitions at the negotiating table or facing swift U.S. military action.

"Iran's going to have a choice to make real quick about whether they're going to give those up at the table or face the kind of devastation that America can bring and will bring swiftly if necessary," Hegseth told ROTC cadets and military recruits at the University of Tennessee.

Hegseth accused Tehran of building a large conventional missile arsenal to deter military strikes while continuing to pursue nuclear capabilities, arguing U.S. military strength was essential to compelling adversaries to negotiate.

The only commercial-scale uranium enrichment facility in the U.S. is three-quarters through its latest expansion, advancing domestic nuclear fuel supply goals.

Urenco USA announced Oct. 8 that the sixth of eight new centrifuge cascades at its National Enrichment Facility in New Mexico has begun production.
