During the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth conveyed that the United States is prepared to resume military strikes on Iran if ongoing negotiations do not yield a satisfactory agreement. Hegseth stated, "We have the ability to recommence if necessary...we are more than capable," highlighting the US's robust military stockpiles. President Donald Trump is currently deliberating a proposal to extend a truce with Iran for an additional 60 days, following a two-hour meeting in the White House's situation room. Trump has laid out two crucial conditions for any agreement: Iran must ensure it will never possess nuclear weapons and allow free passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime route for global trade. Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, reiterated that Tehran would only open the Strait after the US lifts its blockade on Iranian vessels. A senior Iranian source mentioned that while a deal is close, it does not encompass nuclear issues, indicating ongoing complexities in the negotiations. This situation remains fluid, with further developments expected.
