US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says he would launch the Iran war again and that it was a “necessary undertaking”
The Pentagon chief is answering questions at a press conference and has been asked about comments by US Vice President JD Vance suggesting the Republicans lost the recent midterm elections due to the Iran war and its consequences.
“The vice president has been a critical member of the team,” Hegseth tells reporters, adding that the department will take his input going forward and apply it. “It was done for the right reasons to ensure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.”
