Pentagon Pete Accused of Gaslighting Public Over ‘Epic Victory’

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has been accused of trying to gaslight the public after claiming an “epic victory” over Iran, despite the regime now controlling the world’s most crucial oil chokepoint and imposing demands America previously rejected.

Hours after the U.S. and Iran reached a two week ceasefire deal, the United Arab Emirates also confirmed on Tuesday morning that they had intercepted 17 ballistic missiles and 25 drones launched from Iran, prompting claims that America was being “played.”
