UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Hegseth Clashes with Reporter over Iran Ceasefire. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 8th, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth clashed with a reporter at a Pentagon press conference on Wednesday morning, right after President Trump, announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran. The deal hinges on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and Hegseth called it a huge win for the U.S. bragging about Iranian leaders taken out by, American and Israeli strikes. Just over 12 hours after Trump's post on true social, Iran fired off waves of missiles and drones at Israel, Kuwait and the UAE. Hegseth explained that ceasefire orders take time to reach Iran's far-flung troops, and the Pentagon was tracking every launch in real time. The reporter jumped in rudely while Hegseth took another question, yelling about the ongoing missile fire. He spun around, told her to wait her turn because she was being so rude, then muttered nasty. Under his breath as he moved on. Trump had given Iran until 8 p.m. eastern time to agree or face total destruction, including power plants
and oil sites. Hegseth said they showed mercy since Iran folded under pressure, and the new Supreme Leader Motaba Kamenay approved it per reports. Pentagon crews are still watching closely, ready to act if needed, but they expect the truth to stick as things calm down across the region.
