News India Live, Digital Desk: America’s ‘Iran Mission’, which has put the world on the threshold of the Third World War, has now started internal discord. US President Donald Trump, in a shocking statement, has put the entire blame for the ongoing military action and tension against Iran on his Defense Minister Pete Hegseth. Trump interrupted Hegseth in front of everyone at a high-level cabinet meeting, saying, “You were the one who repeatedly said let’s attack, now look at the results.” This changed tone of Trump has created panic in the political circles of Washington.
‘Hawk’ vs ‘President’: Hegseth’s advice outweighed?
According to Pentagon sources, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been the biggest advocate of ‘harsh military options’ against Iran from the beginning. He is seen as a ‘hawk’ (pro-war) leader in the Trump administration. Trump has now publicly indicated that he was not in favor of a direct war with Iran, but was being pushed onto this path by his military advisers. This statement of the President has come at a time when attacks on American ships are increasing in the Gulf region and oil prices are going wild.
Is Hegseth about to burst?
After this anger of Trump, speculations are being made whether Pete Hegseth’s chair is in danger? Trump is known for his ‘fire and fury’ image, and he has already removed many senior officials in one fell swoop. Experts believe that Trump is now looking for a ‘scapegoat’ to avoid the rising costs of the war and criticism on the domestic front. Pinning this allegation on Hegseth could be part of Trump’s strategy to present himself as a ‘peace-loving leader’ who was simply a victim of bad advice.
Iran’s counterattack and panic in America
Iran has termed Trump’s statement as its moral victory. Tehran says that the US leadership itself is confused and has no clear vision of the war. At the same time, the widespread impact of this statement is visible even within America. The opposition (Democrats) has targeted Trump and said that the President cannot run away from his responsibility. If the war order was signed by him, then blaming it on any minister is cowardice. Meanwhile, there is an atmosphere of uncertainty among the families of American soldiers deployed in Gulf countries.
Diplomatic stir and Trump’s next step
Will Trump now open some secret path for talks with Iran? This statement of Trump indicates that he wants to stop military action and return to the diplomatic table. He is repeatedly saying that he hates ‘Endless Wars’. If Hegseth is sidelined, it will be believed that America is going to make a major change in its ‘Iran policy’. Stock markets and oil exporters around the world are now eyeing the next official order from the White House.
