Trump Steamrolls Pentagon Pete With Wild War Claim

In a rare show of disagreement, Pete Hegseth failed to echo boss Donald Trump’s claim about the ongoing conflict in Iran on Saturday—and was completely sidelined for his disloyalty.

When asked by journalists aboard Air Force One about reports claiming the Iranian girls’ school that was hit during joint Israeli-U.S. strikes on the Middle Eastern country was attacked by the U.S., Trump dismissed them outright.
