Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared Friday that Iran’s leaders were cowering like “rats” amid U.S. strikes, just hours after they had defiantly strutted through the streets of Tehran and snapped selfies.
The former Fox News host-turned-Pentagon chief boasted at a morning press briefing that Iran’s leadership had gone underground.
“Iran’s leadership is in no better shape. Desperate and hiding, they’ve gone underground, cowering. That’s what rats do,” Hegseth said. He described Iran’s new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, as the “so-called not-so-supreme leader” who is “wounded and likely disfigured.”
