US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday once again suggested the international community should show gratitude for President Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran, which has led to a global oil supply shock and created the potential for food shortages in the coming months.

Speaking with reporters at the Pentagon, Hegseth defended the president’s decision to launch a war of choice with Iran that so far has cost US taxpayers an estimated $60 billion.

    But they did when they agreed to it with the Obama agreement. Consensus is that Iran never had anything near weapons grade Uranium after they agreed not to.
    The ayatollah Trump killed, was even against Nuclear weapons from a religious perspective!!

    But I honestly don’t give a shit about you bullshit whataboutism, because the 2 most dangerous countries to have nuclear weapons are clearly Russia and USA.
    Both are politically unstable with clearly unhinged leaders. And I can almost guarantee you that now that USA has started this war, Iran WILL pursue nuclear weapons, because now Iran has a leader where USA killed his entire family, and he has NOT expressed the same aversion to nuclear weapons as the previous leader did.
    So again USA created a problem much much worse than the original problem.

    USA has created the problem with Iran from the start, when they destroyed Iranian democracy to insert a puppet to control the oil.
    Since the Iranian people removed that puppet, USA has never really tried to resolve issues, but have been bullying Iran ever since. No wonder if Iran now wants nuclear weapons, and to be honest I hope they get them. Because maybe THAT can create some stability in the gulf area.
