US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has reiterated the necessity of the Iran war during a press briefing.
“By every measure, we achieved a historic military victory,” he says, reiterating that Iran’s navy was sunk and its defence-industrial base was destroyed within 40 days of sustained combat operations.
“History will judge the Iran war quite differently than conventional wisdom right now. We didn’t start this war; Iran did 47 years ago,” Hegseth adds. “But President [Donald] Trump was willing to do what no other president would. He did the tough, right thing. Not for politics, but for the safety and security of the American people.”
