News Desk: Pete Hegseth has said the United States is actively confronting efforts by Russia and China to support Iran, as tensions in the region escalate.
Speaking at a press briefing, Hegseth said Washington is fully aware of the role Russia and China are playing in aiding Iran.
“As far as Russia and China, we know exactly what they’re doing,” he said, adding that the US is “addressing, mitigating, or confronting” these actions where necessary.
He declined to provide detailed intelligence publicly but stressed that countermeasures are already underway.
Hegseth warned that the coming days in the Middle East conflict would be critical.
He claimed that recent strikes have significantly impacted Iran’s military morale, leading to desertions, personnel shortages, and frustration among senior leadership.
