Trump throws Hegseth under the bus over Iran war: "You said, 'Let's do it'"

Donald Trump on Monday appeared to set up Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to take the blame should the president characterize the Iran war as a failure.

During a roundtable on crime prevention in Memphis, the president recounted how he made the decision to launch the strikes on Iran late last month.

“I said, ‘let’s talk.’ We got a problem in the Middle East. We have a country known as Iran that , for 47 years, been just a purveyor of terror, and they’re very close to a nuclear weapon,” Trump said.

The president then explained what he viewed were the options.
