Hegseth’s First Iran Remarks: No Timeline, More Troops Not Ruled Out 3/3/26

Pete Hegseth is defending America’s expanding military confrontation with Iran — but offering few specifics about how it will end. In his first extended public remarks since the bombing began, the Pentagon chief projected resolve while sidestepping direct questions about timelines, troop levels, and what “victory” actually looks like.
