US Vice President J. D. Vance has secretly challenged the Pentagon’s optimistic narrative of the war on Iran, voicing concerns over depleting weapons stockpiles.

An American news organization says hundreds of US troops have been killed or wounded in Iranian strikes that took place in retaliation for the US-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic, adding that the Pentagon is undercounting the casualties.  

US war secretary Pete Hegseth fired the top army general for opposing Iran ground invasion, warning it would be too costly and destabilizing to sustain.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has dismissed two other senior Army officers amid Washington's failure to achieve objectives in its war of aggression against Iran. 

Ahead of the US‑Israeli attack on Iran, a broker linked to Secretary Hegseth explored a multimillion‑dollar investment in defense firms.

The administration of President Donald Trump has warned that news outlets could have their broadcasting licences revoked over critical reporting on the war on Iran.

Pete Hegseth is under mounting pressure to resign over war crimes in the Caribbean and the mishandling of classified military intelligence.
