Mediaite • • nation
Key Points:
- Secretary of War Pete Hegseth accused Sen. Mark Kelly of falsely discussing a classified Pentagon briefing during a national TV interview, stating the Department of War’s legal counsel will review the matter.
- Kelly revealed in the interview that the Pentagon's classified briefing on the Iran war highlighted severe depletion of U.S. weapons stockpiles, including Tomahawks, ATACMS, SM-3, THAAD, and Patriot rounds, which could take years to replenish.
- Kelly criticized President Donald Trump for involving the U.S. in the conflict without a strategic goal, plan, or timeline, warning that the American people are less safe due to depleted munitions amid potential global conflicts.
- The exchange continues a history of public disputes between Hegseth and Kelly, including past accusations of seditious behavior against Kelly for urging troops to refuse illegal orders.
