Hegseth Threatens Iron Blockade if Iran Breaches Enrichment Terms

🛡️ PENTAGON — Hegseth names enrichment: break it and the fleet returns. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Trump threatened; Hegseth specifies the trigger — enrichment.

Naming the clause also defines permission: everything short of enrichment just became tolerated space.
