Pete Hegseth begins by stating they have achieved a "decisive military result in just weeks" in Iran, comparing it to years-long wars like in Vietnam and Iraq.
"Ultimately Iran will not have a nuclear weapon," he states, calling their mission a "gift to the world".
The mission continues in the new phase, he says, stating that Iran has a chance to "make a good deal, a wise deal".
Hegseth references the US navy "ironclad" blockade they have imposed on Iranian ports, which he says "grows more powerful by the day".
