As reports show Russia has provided military intelligence to Iran following U.S. strikes, Hegseth brushed off concerns that this could endanger American troops, saying “the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they’re going to live.” Retired General Mark Hertling blasted those comments, saying Hegseth made the exact opposite argument over Russia sharing intel with Afghanistan when Joe Biden was president and reacts to Hegseth’s “troubling” war messaging.
