“You’re Missing the Point” - Hegseth, Smith Clash Over Iran War

“You’re Missing the Point” - Hegseth, Smith Clash Over Iran War Smith argued that the US was left in “exactly the same place” as before, saying Iran’s nuclear ambitions continued even after the strikes. He questioned how the administration could justify starting a war over an imminent nuclear threat while also claiming Iran’s facilities had already been “obliterated.” Hegseth did not let that framing stand. He said Iran’s underground nuclear facilities had been buried and “obliterated,” and that the US is watching the situation around the clock. In his view, the strike damaged Iran’s nuclear infrastructure while preventing Tehran from hiding behind a growing conventional missile shield. #PeteHegseth #AdamSmith #IranWar #IranStrike #TrumpAdministration #USPolitics #CongressHearing #IranNuclear #OperationMidnightHammer #MiddleEastConflict #DefenseNews
