KABUL: In response to widespread reactions to U.S. airstrikes on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that today’s attacks were not aimed at changing the regime in Iran.
During a press conference, Hegseth claimed that the U.S. is not seeking war, and the strikes were conducted to eliminate threats that jeopardize American interests.
According to him, the U.S. acts swiftly and decisively in such situations.
Earlier, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance expressed Washington’s willingness to engage in talks with Tehran regarding a long-term agreement.
It is important to note that the recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have been widely condemned, with many countries labeling them as clear violations of the UN Charter and international law.
Several other nations have expressed concern over the escalation of tensions in the region due to these attacks, urging the involved parties to resolve issues through dialogue and diplomatic means.
