He said the effort is expanding worldwide and warned that time is not in Iran\u2019s favor.Responding to President Donald Trump\u2019s order authorizing force against vessels that lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, Hegseth reaffirmed the policy. He said the U.S. will act decisively and without hesitation\u2014comparing the approach to how the U.S. treats drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean.Hegseth said Tehran still has a clear opportunity to make a wise choice at the negotiating table: to abandon any pursuit of nuclear weapons in a meaningful and verifiable way.He added that the burden cannot fall on the United States alone. Europe and Asia have benefited from U.S. security guarantees for decades, he said, but \u201cthe era of free riding is over.\u201d The U.S. and the free world deserve capable, loyal partners who understand that alliances are two-way, not one-way.Analysts said Hegseth\u2019s remarks amounted to repeated calls for allies to dispatch warships to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz and to help maintain the maritime blockade of Iran.#Breaking #UnitedStates #Iran #War #StraitOfHormuzYonhap News TV inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk\/LINE jebo23Shin Sun-jae
