U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that the U.S. is prepared to "go deep and to go big" militarily if diplomatic efforts with Iran over its nuclear program fail. This statement followed initial indirect talks in Oman, which Hegseth described as "productive." President Donald Trump emphasized that while military action is not preferred, it remains a possibility, potentially involving Israel as a leading partner. Trump had previously withdrawn the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear agreement during his first term. Analysts suggest Iran may be weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon. Trump has warned Iran that failure to reach a deal could lead to bombing. (PC: The New York Times)
