[U.S. Defense Secretary: U.S.-Iran Negotiations Continue, Military Option Remains on the Table] According to CCTV News, on May 30 local time, U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth stated at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore that the U.S. is striving to reach an agreement in negotiations with Iran. However, if the negotiations yield no results, 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 did not make a 'final decision' on the related agreement. In February of this year, the U.S. and Israel jointly launched an attack on Iran. Subsequently, the U.S. imposed a blockade on 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.
