United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Friday said that Iran still had an open window for talks.

“Iran knows that they still have an open window to choose wisely at the negotiating table. All they have to do is abandon a nuclear weapon in meaningful and verifiable ways,” he said in a press briefing at the Pentagon.

Hegseth also said that the US blockade of Iranian ports had gone global. He said the US had seized two Iranian dark fleet ships that left Iranian ports.
