Hegseth: US alone on Iran nuclear threat

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has criticized the lack of allied support in confronting Iran, stating the world cannot rely on America to do the 'heavy lifting' in perpetuity. In a social media post, he singled out the potential Iranian nuclear threat as an example, asking 'Who's gonna do something about it? America. And America only.' This rhetoric underscores the administration's frustration with burden-sharing among NATO and other partners. The comments come amid the ongoing US-led blockade and military pressure campaign against Iran.
