According to Hegseth, the fighting has led to a regime change in Iran and the new government wants to cooperate for peace.
They knew what we were capable of. That's why they came to the negotiating table. They begged for it (the ceasefire).
Iran's ability to enrich uranium is out of the question, according to Hegseth.
They will never be able to produce any nuclear weapons, he claims.
We know exactly what they have and where they have it (the uranium). We will take care of it.
The US military will remain in the region to "monitor the situation."
We are prepared if necessary, but we believe the ceasefire will hold.
According to Hegseth, Iran has also agreed to allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to him, the United States has thus achieved all of its goals for the war.
During the press conference, Hegseth praised President Donald Trump and the military actions taken in Iran.
Iran has been a threat to the United States and the free world for 47 years. Not anymore, he says.
