India, April 9 -- Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the US could strike again if Iran does not hand over enriched uranium.

The Pentagon chief did not offer any details about whether Iran had agreed to Trump's statement that the US would work with them to "dig up" the buried material. However, Hegseth said Iran will "give it to us voluntarily," or the US might do "something like" its strikes last summer with Israel hitting Iran's nuclear sites. "We reserve that opportunity," Hegseth said.
