Trump Poised to Dismiss Hegseth Amid Iran War Controversy

Former Fox News host Peter Hegseth faces removal from his Pentagon liaison role. His critics link recent mass resignations and retirements to his management of the Iran conflict. Pentagon insiders accuse him of censoring real casualty figures, now estimated at up to 750 U.S. servicemen dead with many more injured. Several generals reportedly resigned in protest of his insistence on a full ground invasion. Hegseth is also blamed for forcing out the head of the U.S. Chaplain Service over a refusal to adopt an evangelical Zionist framework to justify the war. Many professional soldiers view this as an unconstitutional intrusion of doctrine into military affairs. According to sources, President Trump has already selected a new adviser to replace Hegseth, signaling a swift transition in Pentagon leadership.
