Hegseth Melts Down at Reporter Who Points Out Failed War Aim

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has lashed out at a reporter for asking him to explain the Trump administration’s ever-changing story on Iran.

After both sides agreed to a two-week ceasefire, the former Fox & Friends co-host held a press conference on Wednesday to declare the U.S. had achieved an “epic victory” and had met all of its strategic objectives.
