Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in an interview that aired Sunday that the United States and President Donald Trump will set “the terms of surrender” with Iran, without offering specifics on what those terms might be.

Trump said last week that “There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”

Asked on CBS’ “60 Minutes” what “unconditional surrender” looks like, Hegseth said, “It means we’re fightin’ to win. It means we set the terms. We’ll know when they’re not capable of fighting. There’ll be a point where they’ll have no choice but to do that. Whether they know it or not, they will be combat-ineffective. They will surrender.”

Hegseth said that surrender can look a lot of different ways, including person-to-person, but that Trump is the one who will ultimately set the terms, not the Iranians.

“Whether they want to admit it or not, whether their pride lets them say it out loud or not — it’s President Trump who will set the terms of that,” Hegseth said.
