Iranian Regime Is a Direct Threat to U.S., Hegseth Says -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-19 20:20

By Gareth Vipers

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Iran was a terror state that couldn't be trusted to abandon its nuclear program on its own terms.

"Iran has terrorized the United States and our interests for 47 years, their core industries not steel or agriculture, tourism, their core industries are state-sponsored terrorism, proxy militias, underground networks, ballistic missiles and a violent messianic Islamist ideology chasing some sort of apocalyptic end game," Hegseth said.

"A regime like that refusing to abandon its nuclear ambitions is not just a regional problem, it's a direct threat to America, to freedom and to civilization."

The director general of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency said Wednesday that none of Iran's enriched uranium appears to have been moved from the nuclear sites struck by the U.S. and Israel in June. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that Iran hasn't been enriching uranium since that attack.
