US Secretary of Defense: Negotiations between the US and Iran are ongoing, military options remain on the table

Jinse Finance reported, citing CCTV News, that on May 30 local time, U.S. Secretary of Defense Haggseth stated at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore that the U.S. side is making every effort to reach an agreement with Iran through negotiations. However, if the negotiations fail, the U.S. is prepared to resume military strikes. The day before, U.S. President Trump held a meeting in the White House Situation Room regarding the Iran situation, but no "final decision" was made on the relevant agreement. In February this year, the U.S. and Israel jointly launched attacks on Iran. Subsequently, the U.S. blocked Iranian ports, while Iran implemented special controls on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and driven up global energy prices.
