U.S. Secretary of Defense Says that Iran Conflict Does Not Pertain to Any Other Country

It looks like reporters are trying other get Hegseth to say something that North Korea is next and he didn’t take the bait. There is no reason to be making any threats towards North Korea:

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday that U.S. efforts to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions will send “plenty of signals,” as he addressed a question related to North Korea’s criticism of the ongoing U.S. military operation against the Islamic Republic.

Hegseth made the remarks during a press briefing on the military operation, codenamed “Operation Epic Fury,” which kicked off in coordination with Israel on Saturday.

“As it pertains to other countries … they don’t really bear on the case of Iran,” the secretary said. “We’re going to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and that will send plenty of signals in the process.”
