Warmongering Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth is feeding President Donald Trump lies about how the U.S. is faring in the war with Iran, according to insiders.
While Hegseth has portrayed the escalating conflict as a string of victories bringing the U.S. ever closer to total triumph, Iran’s downing of an F-15E fighter jet and an A-10 warthog over the weekend revealed a far messier reality on the ground.
Inside the Trump administration, concerns are mounting that the 45-year-old defense secretary’s rosy claims of U.S. dominance are skewing the 79-year-old president’s understanding of the war he started more than five weeks ago, The Washington Post reports.
