Iran warfare stay: Trump sends Witkoff and Kushner for Iran talks however Vance overlooked

Pete Hegseth implied that European and Asian countries are not grateful enough for the Iran war – which he called “a gift to the world” from Donald Trump.

“It’s a bold and dangerous mission … courtesy of a bold and historic president,” Hegseth said.

Regarding allies in Europe and Asia, he went on: “Europe and Asia have benefited from our protection for decades, but the time for free riding is over.

“America and the free world deserve allies who are capable, who are loyal and who understand that being an ally is not a one way street. It’s a two way street.

“We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do, and might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences in Europe and get in a boat.”
