ISLAMABAD: US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kaine has said that the US military could launch another attack on Iran at a moment’s notice.

While holding a press conference with Secretary of Defense Pat Hegseth in Washington, he said that the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is for all ships, this ban applies to every ship going to or coming from Iran in Iranian territorial waters and international waters, and if any ship tries to help Iran at sea, it will also be pursued.

General Dan Kaine said that 13 ships have been forced to turn back during the blockade, including those that were carrying Iranian oil.

Earlier, US Secretary of Defense Pat Hegseth said that Iran will have to make its decisions wisely, if Iran makes the wrong decision and does not make a deal, then US forces are fully prepared to conduct military operations again.

At a press briefing in Washington, US Secretary of War Pat Hegseth said that the Iranians should know that there is no competition between our capabilities and theirs, that the US is still as strong as before, that Iran no longer has a navy to control the Strait of Hormuz, and that if Iran does not make a deal now, the US is ready to attack.

The US Secretary of War said that there is a message for Iran, that we are watching you, that we have told Iran that we know what military assets you are transferring, that Iran is trying to reuse the missile launchers destroyed by the bombing, that the US is re-preparing with more power than before, that Iran will have to make its decisions wisely, that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons under any circumstances.

Pete Hegseth said that Iran says it controls the Strait of Hormuz but it has no navy of its own, the threat to target commercial ships is not control, this is piracy, Iran’s energy industry has not been completely destroyed, the US blockade is stopping exports, the US Navy controls traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, we will maintain the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as long as necessary, I hope you will make an agreement that is within your reach.

He further said that Iran’s desire to remain in a ceasefire is high, Iran’s new Supreme Leader is suspected of being injured, but he is alive, we will welcome other countries to help open the Strait of Hormuz, Trump has a good relationship with the Field Marshal.
