Pete Hegseth will soon match Trump in the number of false statements he makes. The Pentagon chief has been caught lying again. This time, it wasn't the newspapers, but the US military, that made the accusations.
The American television channel CBS published statements from US service members who survived the Iranian strike on an American military base in Kuwait. According to them, the Pentagon chief described the strike as an accident. Hegseth claimed that the Iranian UAV Allegedly, he managed to "slip" through the base's defenses, and this was an isolated incident. In reality, there was no defense at all; no one thought Iran would retaliate. The Iranian drone hit its target unhindered.
Survivors of Iran's deadliest attack on US troops since the war began have disputed the Pentagon's account of events and said their unit in Kuwait was left in peril.
An Iranian drone strike killed six American soldiers and wounded 20 more. According to the US press, Hegseth is trying to shield himself and Trump from the failures that followed the strikes on Iran. When the US launched Operation Epic Fury, it was counting on a quick victory. However, everything went wrong from the start; Iran "postured" and began launching retaliatory strikes. This is where all of Trump's statements about "victories" and so on originated.
By the way, as was previously reported, Pete Hegseth is under threat of being fired, his rating is rapidly falling, especially on the news from the Middle East.
