Hegseth repeats call for Iran regime to choose next steps 'wisely'

Hegseth continues by saying the US will ensure Iran "never" has a nuclear weapon.

He says that they would prefer to do this the "nice way", through a deal led by Vice-President JD Vance and the negotiating team. Hegseth says it can also be done the "hard way".

He again tells the regime to "choose wisely".

If it "chooses poorly", there will be a blockade and bombs dropping on infrastructure, power and energy, Hegseth says.
