WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) - U.S. forces in the Middle East are postured to restart combat operations if Iran doesn't agree to a peace deal, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a Pentagon briefing on Thursday."You Iran, can choose a prosperous future, a golden bridge, and we hope that you do for the people of Iran," he said."But if Iran chooses poorly, then they will have a blockade and bombs dropping on infrastructure, power and energy."
