[US Defense Secretary: US-Iran Negotiations Continue, Military Option Remains on the Table] According to a report by Jinse Finance on May 31, citing CCTV News, on May 30 local time, US Defense Secretary Hegseth stated at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore that the US is striving to reach an agreement through negotiations with Iran. However, if the negotiations fail, the US is prepared to resume military strikes. The day before, US President Trump held a meeting in the White House Situation Room regarding the Iran situation but did not make a 'final decision' on the relevant agreement. In February of this year, the US and Israel jointly launched an attack on Iran. Subsequently, the US blocked Iranian ports, and Iran implemented special controls on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and a rise in global energy prices. (CCTV News)
