US ‘more than capable’ of resuming war against Iran, Pete Hegseth says
At a Singapore defence summit, US Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth stated the US is “more than capable” of resuming war with Iran (aligning with Trump’s red lines for a nuclear-free deal), while expressing alarm over China’s military buildup but disavowing “needless confrontation”; the US also signaled Taiwan arms sales could be a bargaining chip with Beijing, as China’s defence minister skipped the summit.
