CNN: Pentagon chief Hegset has become the most ardent supporter of the U.S. war against Iran.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegset has become one of the most ardent supporters of the U.S. military operation against Iran. This was reported by CNN, citing sources.
"As soon as President [Donald Trump] made this decision, Hegset became his main supporter, and that is correct. He is still responsible for ensuring that this decision is successful," a White House representative said.
According to other sources, the Secretary of Defense not only approved Trump's idea but also "downplayed the risks of the conflict spiraling out of control." None of those present at that important meeting emphasized the potential risks of starting a war.
