While a potential conflict between the US and Iran has been discussed for a long time, US President Donald Trump gave final approval to the operation against Iran on the 28th.

At this point, as the US launched a full-scale military operation against Iran over the weekend, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made new statements regarding the conflict with Iran.

Pete Hegseth stated that the US did not start the current war, but it will be the US that ends it.

Hegseth said the operation was “limited and targeted.”

Hegseth emphasized that the goal of the operation was to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons capability, adding that Iran would never be allowed to possess these weapons.

In his statement, Hegseth also touched upon the nature of the war, saying:

Hegseth also stressed that the operation was not an “endless war” and was different from the conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The US Secretary of Defense recently stated that they hope the Iranian people will view the current developments as an “opportunity.” He also addressed Iranian security forces, urging them to carefully consider their next steps.

With US-Iran tensions expected to continue for some time, Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen by 2.3% in the last 24 hours to around $65,300.
