Donald Trump is sidestepping his own defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, while seeking advice on whether to launch a military strike against Iran, according to a report.
“Nobody is talking to Hegseth,” the official said. “There is no interface operationally between Hegseth and the White House at all.”
Hegseth, a former Fox News host whose lack of military experience raised eyebrows when he was picked to lead the Pentagon, does not appear to be convincing Trump to make a decision one way or the other.
Instead, the president is leaning more heavily on top military brass like four-star General Erik Kurilla, nicknamed “The Gorilla,” who leads U.S. Central Command and oversees operations in the Middle East, according to the Post.
