US ‘More Than Capable’ Of Resuming War Against Iran: Pete Hegseth

The Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, while attending a major Asia defence summit in Singapore, said on Saturday local time that Washington could restart the war if it wanted.

“Our ability to recommence if necessary is (that) we are more than capable, our stockpiles are more than suited for that, both there and around the globe because of how we balance exquisite and more plentiful munitions,” he said.

That echoed the US Central Command, which posted on X that American forces “remain present and vigilant across the region”.

The efforts to strike a deal mediated by Pakistan were thrown into question this week by US strikes on the southern Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, countered by retaliatory fire from Iran.
