JAKARTA - US Defense Secretary (Menhan) Pete Hegseth asked Israel to continue launching attacks on Iran. He emphasized that the US would continue to support Israel's policies.
"Keep fighting until the end," Hegseth said after communicating with Israeli Defense Minister Katz according to a report by the Israeli Defense Ministry on Thursday, March 5, quoted by Reuters.
On that occasion, Katz was also said to have expressed his gratitude to Hegseth for the US's assistance in defeating Iran.
The Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, is a right-wing politician from the Likud party. He is known for being tough in defending Jewish illegal residents in the West Bank and annexations in Gaza and the destruction of Iran.
Previously, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi considered that the diplomacy played by the US Government in resolving problems in the Middle East, especially related to nuclear negotiations, had betrayed the US people.
Trump during the 2024 US presidential campaign spread the "America First" promise which emphasizes avoiding foreign conflicts if elected for a second term as president.
He also assessed that the US, led by President Donald Trump, conducted nuclear negotiations like a real estate transaction.
"When complex nuclear negotiations are treated like a real estate transaction, and when big lies obscure reality, unrealistic expectations will never be fulfilled. The result? Bombing the negotiating table out of spite," Araghchi said on his X account, Wednesday, March 4.
